Deryck Walker’s Windmill Christmas Tree
by Kenny Campbell

The moment you walked into The Reindeer, the new and exclusive Pop-up’ restaurant, Brick Lane, you knew Christmas had arrived!

As you entered the vast space of the Old Truman Brewery you we’re faced with the most amazing avant-garde Christmas tree hovering above the ground in an array of light.

The tree was made entirely out of 100 navy and white polytrophic plastic windmills symbolizing the creation of new things and life spinning into the future.

The windmill is thought as very innocent and childlike symbol but when there are over 100 together it becomes a very powerful object.
