I’ve always found this idea fascinating. Looking through a pattern at a picture behind. Like looking through a cracked window. Your mind flicks back and forth. Clara Hastrup has taken this notion and run with it. Her work is beautiful. Although it is precariously close to furniture or adornment.
Adrian Callan is a photographer who has shot a series of photos of prostitution in an area called NANA in Thailand.

All the models are young. As if sexuality must be remembered as youth. Before decay sets in. Or loss of hair. Flabbiness. Cellulite. Wrinkles. And of course stretch marks.
and now for something completely different. Snake man.
Jonathan Bartlett. He has ideas. His work is well done. Everything has a kind of middling feel to it. Nothing makes me want to turn up the dial.

Seditious. Seductive pieces.
