The Self-Portraiture of Jessica Woods

“i like to shoot around the places where i grew up. i want to capture certain emotions, if it feels like heavy fog in autumn, the woods at night where creatures and ghosts hide in trees and in holes in the ground, like a place i knew as a child, a dream or a memory, a visual or auditory distortion caused by fear or love or sleeplessness, an abandoned house where the memories of previous owners still haunt the walls, like shivering when you’re outside and it’s cold but you’re holding hands with the person you love, if it feels like something lurking in the shadows, a dimly lit street in my hometown, the forest after it rains.”

Miso’s Cornucopia

{ Cornucopia began life as a meditation on 16th-century Flemish still life paintings, but evolved into something more descriptively elusive. The relatively small, but lavishly illuminated oil paintings that comprise the exhibition feature botanical wonders alongside the dissected anatomical figures that populate Karen Hsiao’s fantasy Miso world.

The titular cornucopia relates to Hsiao’s vast collection of specimens, both flora and fauna, that continue the tradition of scientific classification paintings spanning Audubon to Walton Ford – but reflecting a modern context of fetishistic connoisseurship. }

Iceland

These haunting, otherworldly images are by Selina Elkuch for SOME/THINGS. I like the desolate beauty, and their revelation of the Iceland coast shrouded in mists and crowned by towering, strange, dark, mysterious rock formations.
