Phoebe English

A couple of pictures of the beautiful work of Central Saint Martin's MA graduate, Phoebe English.
The top design is one from her MA graduate collection and the second is her BA collection.

Specialised in fashion knit, she has experimented with a range of techniques making each piece a work of original art.

Eva Rothschild at The Hepworth, Wakefield

Eventually managed to get to The Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield. Now been open for a couple of months, it displays the beautiful sculpture work of Barbara Hepworth. It is a vast contemporary gallery located in Wakefield, West Yorkshire with very similar architectual qualities of London galleries such as Tate Modern and The Hayward.

Eva Rothschild, a sculptor who I have researched many times for my personal work is currently showing in three of the gallery rooms. All very large pieces, they work with and against the contours of the given space. The pictured piece is one of my favourites - automatically thinking of jewellery and how it could be worn on the body.

Will Self

Little people in the city : The street art of Slinkachu by Will Self

find Will Self's little people rather cute - tiny models put in city situations - they are usually backed up with the image from the perspective of a human, so the models are harly visable.

SPACE


Never have I been on a beach when there is absolutely no-one else in sight - slightly surreal.

lobster/crab catchers



found these rather rustic looking lobster/crab catchers whilst wandering around..love the different colours and textures - each cage was a completely different shape and design adding to the attraction
