My Sister Says the Saddest Things

 Mixed Media by Thomas Paine

Photography by Gabriela Alatorre

Works by Maurizio Cattelan and Pierpaolo Ferrari
"Ferrari described the project as a ‘mental outburst’ of shared ideas between the two collaborators’ passions and obsessions. The result is a fascinating collection of visual tableaux, though not for the squeamish.”  “I like how easily images multiply like rabbits. I hope some of these images can sustain more than 30 seconds of attention––most images can only sustain around ten seconds.” —M. Cattelan

 'Painting Myself Into a Corner' by Keith Haring (1979)

I thought this was a beautiful but tragic concept.

The Finer Details

It is so easy to be caught up in those crazy trends like neon, bold patterns and things that scream look at me (I may or may not have fallen for bold patterns) that sometimes it is really lovely to appreciate the finer details.

Céline, always.

I am really not sure about the footwear, but everything else is superb. So casually luxurious in form and material. Céliinneeeeee

In other news, Saint Laurent (formerly Yves Saint Laurent) has a new campaign out, and its great. Of course it is... it was shot by Hedi Slimane!

Flat out with commitments and may or may not have stepped on my macbook pro and cracked the screen. Not really excellent times for me at the moment, but hopefully some great and interesting outcomes from projects in the next couple of weeks.

 I have been doing some research into 'Australian Christmas' for a design project and came across this, so charming. Image is via the State Library of Victoria.

Wow, I don't know about you...but this image is like a big reality slap in the face.

Bejewelled

Just thought I'd share some things I've stumbled upon recently.

No words for how good this editorial is taken by Jason Kim for BlackBook Oct/Nov 2012 issue 94.

Models: Jenna Earle and Alena Blohm

Stylist: Christopher Campbell

Thanks to Cecelia for pointing this one out to me. 

I can't go past a huge bejewelled cow-nose ring these days. ha

Beautiful work by the Dutch artist Anne Ten Donkelaar. These meticulous 3D collages use pressed wildflowers, dried stems and paper cut outs to make some crazy compositions. I would love one of these to put up on a white washed wall in my future home!
