pop-up paradises - expansive cut textile installations by manuel ameztoy
I cant believe all this work is done by hand the amazing works by Manuel Ameztoy are simply stunning. The way he cuts into the stencil is enthralling and baleful.

Phyllida Barlow

Professor of Fine Art at the Slade School of Art in London, Phyllida Barlow has taught art since the late 1960s. Her former students include Rachel Whiteread, Bill Woodrow, Steven Pippin, Melanie Counsell, Keith Wilson, Douglas Gordon, Tacita Dean, Conrad Shawcross, Tomoko Takahashi and Angela De la Cruz.
Barlow’s recent work emerges from a 40-year practice in which she has explored many of the inquiries of post-Minimalism: the effect of gravity on materials, the relation of the sculpture to the viewing space, the impact of added colour on our perception of a structure, the push-and-pull between total abstraction and a work’s ability to evoke the body...

Barlow makes her work from a range of materials, such as felt sheets, wooden pallets, polystyrene, red masking tape and foam boards.

Protea Bloom

Protea Bloom is the latest window display for Trouble and Fox. If your wondering how they were created it is quite simple. Collect some paper lanterns, get some paper (I recycled the Lush Times), cut your paper into circles, then glue them onto the lantern with a glue gun.
