Sorry

I would just like to say sorry, this blog always seems to go a wee bit haywire when I get back from holiday and I struggle to get it back into a flowing, tame beast. I say this, as it seems to be darting this way and that, hopefully it will calm down soon. Anyway this morning I found a site that, very quickly and easily, makes your pictures look old and I thought I would share it, have a lovely weekend.

Riitta Ikonen,

Riitta Ikonen is a Finish artist currently living in London. Riitta creates costumes, these then become instances of performance art, environmental art and photography projects.

"My work is concerned with the performance of images through photography and costume design . . . in my costumes tremendous things happen- to me and to the people I work with"

Riitta's work is concerned with ecology, climate and the bigger picture of planet health. All of the images I have included are from a project called 'Snowflake'. For a wonderful interview with this artist go here.

Kira Sheker

The haunting and wonderful photographs of Kira Sheker a photographer and illustrator from California. Kira's works are created using slow exposure, double exposure and pinhole camera's . Today these works found their way to my screen completely independently of one another. Strange how sometimes, someones work just shouts 'here I am!' at you.

Columbia Road Flower Market

It always makes me chuckle to see the interaction between people and their new plant or flowers. Almost the same as witnessing people with an new pet. Columbia Road, flower market in London is a great place to observe this, as people struggle away with their new 'pets', so I took the opportunity for a photo project, to record and share this and their wonder.

A Way With Things

Some people are good at making everything beautiful, I think this must be so with artist and print maker Fiona Watson, here is a tiny selection of the beauty that she has posted at her flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/wildgoosechase/
