FAITH 47 & DAL EAST

She is the Aphrodite of South Africa’s street art scene. He has splashed his paint on galleries and walls all throughout the world. She is Faith 47. He is Dal East. Separately, his paint coils and whirls in 3D manifestations and her engravings plunge deep into the wood to evoke her images with pure emotion… Together they break down how we interact with our environment. Shying away from starched new canvases they favour...

RABBIT VS BEAR

It’s a post apocalyptic world where two enemies must come together to fend off an enemy of even larger proportions… There is BEAR. There is RABBIT. And there is a city under siege by squirrel goons zombibified by an  alien acorn…  In the modern age where contemporary art is all the rage and often the words are more appealing than the actual installation, a few art forms have been brushed off. So, how nice...

High waisted jodhpurs have never been on my style radar, not even when Balenciaga graced models in the pants for Fall 20007, but somehow as she casually shook her chestnut bangs from her eyes she made...

Claire Taylor Contemporary. Metal Smith. Jeweler...

I have a strong nose and wide shoulders. Almost every night for a month in South EastAsia, I snuck out into the heat of a city lock down to visit the camps of Political Protestors. Some would call me strong. But, holding my lithe fingers and hearing my soft voice, some would call me delicate. Strong and delicate are hard elements to blend, especially for jewelry, but winding down the twists and turns that are Melbourne,...

It's Bigger Than Hip-Hop

Music generates sub cultures trespassing age, gender, and ethnicity to gather together people all dubbing their heads to the same beat. Hip-hop, with all of its flows and rhymes has cultivated a style of gold chains, graphic tees, and of course the speedy outpour of lyrics. The 1970’s saw angst driven teens in the Bronx populate before outdoor speakers to express themselves in the new form of the...
