Vanessa Dakinsky

Vanessa Dakinsky. The work seems to be happening right on the canvas. Like a kid in a sand box. A rampage of colours. And little asides that are amusing, cute, non-sensical (does the word even exist? Does now, I guess.) I love her invention. And her fun. Its like the inside of my head on a good day.

Richard Avedon

Richard Avedon (May 15, 1923 – October 1, 2004) was an American fashion and portrait photographer. An obituary published in The New York Times said that “his fashion and portrait photographs helped define America’s image of style, beauty and culture for the last half-century”.

Perhaps we should just focus on his work.

 

A Beached Beast, 1942

Rolling hills

Father heard someone outside. We went out to see what was there. It was a lone airplane. Lost in the sky.

The Critics

They hover like moths around a candle. Afraid to get to close. Afraid to get burnt. But that is the only way to appreciate art. And they refuse.

Alana Dee Haynes. Just found this fascinating.

Alone in the woods

The snap of the flames. The crackle of the wood. A branch breaks. In the darkness…

I love work that has stories in them. Makes for hours of speculation, stories made up in  your own head. Sandra Flood
