Baby’s Ear is the latest creation from Neva Crystall. There are now only two days left to enjoy it before the fortnight window closes. I took the photos about 10 days ago, but real life has been so hectic. It is, in many ways, characteristic Neva. Cool, subdued colours, where land meets the sea. There’s […]
Série Noire is the latest exhibition at Nitroglobus, and features the art of Tutsy NAvArAthnA, an artist who works more often with the moving image than the still. Nitroglobus is an expansive gallery setting, and as always, the pictures have an imposing presence and sense of scale as you walk through it. Tutsy’s artwork is […]

Why am I wearing headphones? Am I the kind of girl who goes into a concert and doesn’t listen to the music? I have the answer here…
