Kim Beck
Sunday, 26 April 2009
Kim Beck Work from Site I Works (new developments, space available, there, and tree islands). Much of Beck’s work makes reference to stereoscopic vision, both literally and conceptually, in a way that makes one consider her work as a metacritique of artistic interpretation. I am a huge fan of this work, and I am thrilled […]

Paul van den Hout Work from the series Pixelation. Paul van den Hout’s work, Pixelation, addresses the visual codes of the pixelated image. “The pixel (and pixelation) is a part of our visual code, and a pixelated image has two functions, one denying the viewer access to the complete image, and the other protecting them […]
Mayumi Lake

Mayumi Lake Work from Poo-Chi. Poo-Chi is a deceptive and hilarious body of work that seemed like the perfect Sunday post. Enjoy. “The images in this book are not what they at first appear to be.

Michelle Forsyth Work from Text Work. These pieces are made by punching out small circles of paper in a way that replicates the print pattern of a newspaper press.
