A Dawning.

These haunting photographs sparked something quite sad and nostalgic in me. Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison work together to create some visually stunning work that seem to have been taken from someone's dreams mixed with night terrors in a surreal and beautiful way.

A Louder Gesture

The Care of House Plants

by Tina Tyrell

There is no doubt that Tina Tyrell takes beautiful photographs for some of the most interesting fashion designers today. It is however her sensitivity to the medium that makes me appreciate and admire her work so much. Her blog is honest, with thoughtful and intelligent writing on photographic practice and theory. She understands the punctum. I always look forward to visiting her site.

Is this starting to sound like a Billy Joel song? Anyway, I'm very captivated by Phillip's work. The subject matter haunts me and draws thoughts of a surviving world with a romantic tone. His sculptures are resurrected pieces of broken Florida homes and dioramas of shifting overgrown materials both natural and synthetic. I love the collages as well but I am especially drawn to the architecture of the sculptures–part whimsical treehouse, part serious post-apocolyptic shelter, part disturbing reality of south Florida's housing crisis.
