SKETCHBOOK SUNDAY. ABBEY MCCULLOCH

This week for Sketchbook Sunday I would like to nominate artist Abbey McCulloch. Based in Queensland, Australia but born in New Zealand, Abbey has been named one of Australia's 50 Most Collectable Artists by Australian Art Collector in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Her work she says quietly ruptures the boundaries between the ideal and the real, embracing the beauty in our imperfections.

TANK WORKS. MARIELE NEUDECKER

Mariel Neudecker is a German born, UK- based artist, who in her ongoing series Tank Works fuses chemistry and sculpture, creating 3-D landscapes contracted within large aquariums.

Neudecker fills glass tanks with water and miniature sculptural objects such as trees, mountains and ships, then adds various chemicals to the aquariums, sparking a reaction that creates unique atmospheres while also forming contained climates that have a gradual change over time.

WEBSITE WEDNESDAY . HEFORSHE

In keeping with my previous post and the thought provoking speech from Emma Watson, this week for Website Wednesday I would like to nominate HeForShe. HeForShe is a newly launched UN campaign, promising a commitment for gender equality. This human rights issue I believe is to be one of the most important issues of now and is a strong step forward to taking action against all forms of violence and discrimination faced by women and girls.

UN WOMEN. HEFORSHE. EMMA WATSON

I was completely blown away by this empowering speech that Emma Watson delivered at the UN. Just recently appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women, Emma Watson launched the new campaign HeForShe, a movement dedicated to ending gender inequality. 

I hope you take the 12 minutes out of your day to watch this, to think about the words and the meaning behind this campaign and begin to make change in your everyday life. Not only is this speech empowering, but it's reassuring that these matters are now having a voice, and Emma delivers this with such strength and poise.

CHLOE SEVIGNY X NOWNESS: 90'S THROWBACK PT.2

SKETCHBOOK SUNDAY. PAT STEIR

This week for Sketchbook Sunday I would like to nominate American artist Pat Steir. She has been an influential artist for decades now, developing recognition in the 80's by her technique that involved applying paint exclusively by dripping and flinging it onto the canvas. Pat Steir has always searched to understand the relationship between artwork and its audience, pushing her audience to find their own meaning of her artwork.

THE END OF RUNWAY? i-D ONLINE

Recently i-D online wrote an article covering the Q&A that the lucky design students of Central Saint Martins got to take part in with the legendary Vogue US Editor in Chief Anna Wintour and fashion critic Suzy Menkes. One thing that sparked conversation was Wintour's comment that fashion shows are unnecessary and that times are changing. She advised any young designer to think of an interesting and creative way to present their collections in contrast to the exclusive catwalk shows that are today. Read more here on the "six reasons why the catwalk is overrated" according to writer Emily Manning. 

THE MORE VISIBLE THEY MAKE ME. THE MORE INVISIBLE I BECOME

"The more visible they make me, The more invisible I become" was the first time that Nick Knight worked with Kate Moss. Shot in 1995, the film explores privacy and obsession. At a time when surveillance culture was just beginning, Nick Knight takes influence from the controversy this caused and captures footage of the young Kate through security cameras.  Although this was shot almost 20 years ago, the debate still existing more so then ever, Nick captures Kate in such a timeless way.
