Melissa Schriek - A place of constant movement
“Her photography visualises the city as a rhythm that we come to be part of, once our feet step onto the concrete streets. The humming buzz of the traffic mingled with the bustling murmuring of people conversing on their way to work. Our metropolitan is composed of strangers and familiar objects: the ubiquitous pavement, a slightly bent street pole, a bright orange construction cone, or a abandoned rusty bike. They all seem trivial and significant at the same time.”
Rosie Evans - Age of maximalism
“Rosie Evans, a Welsh designer, now residing in Brighton, is breathing new life into genderless corsets and revitalising the previously negative historical context behind bodices. Corsets, since the fifteen and sixteen hundreds have always been kind of a ‘taboo’ subject, from the dangers of tight lacing, classism, sexism and a whole litany of health problems from posture to poor digestion. Women then and now are being told what to wear. But, Rosie Evans leaves behind any historical notions of corsets as oppressive.”
