While in Macc, we met Rachel Grant who had the most beautiful research books and awesome interactive artworks. She posed the question "what makes you feel strong" and asked for responses to be wound together to make a cocoon of fragility and strength.

The last Links post for a while

Just got a few links left that I wasn't able to make into a nice shiney themed post. So I suppose this weeks links are all relatively unlinked links (hur hur hur!)

United Visual Artists. It's so...geometry and shiney lights. I love flicking through the stuff on their work page, gorgeous.

Art blog about internet culture, which is a super interesting read. It's been going on for over ten years! Christ I am way too late on this whole thing, bloody fascinating.

This blog is about nurturing the artistic community in Stoke-on-Trent, which is currently something I'm really interested in. It kind of blows my mind that there even is an art community in Stoke, since there's not much else. It's like discovering an orchid growing out of a turd.

Somehow I've only just come across the work of Rachel Grant because somebody brought up her name when I was making more glass with the Cultural Sisters and Percy the dog. What have I been doing with my life???

Last but not least, Justyna's portfolio. She was in my class before I had to leave university and the photo above is of work from her degree show. The lady is a force of nature and her work is fucking fantastic. I'd tell somebody to give her a prize, but shit man, they already did.
