from the editor

I'm feeling a big, bold shift: to layered interiors that look well-dressed, groomed, cultivated, and even a little matured. ‘Juxtaposition’ is such an unhelpful term to describe a way of decorating because it conjures up factions of style skirmishes that need to become more and more extreme to make the point of difference.

I strive to capture emotions and define a new type of aesthetic. The paintings are made up of a variety of materials, but mostly acrylic and charcoal. Material is my first reference for an emerging image or sculpture. What metals do you use for your sculptures? At the moment, I’m combining different metals, such as stainless-steel, solid-brass plates and aluminium. This makes it rather…
