Denise Burge




Denise Burge is a professor at the University of Cinniciatti school of arts. She taught one of my painting professors. These are three of her quilts. She took up fabrics as her mode of creation after she painted so many large paintings, so quickly that she devoloped carpal tunnel. Her quilts resemble what she could do with a brush, the stiches loose like drawing. She's also made some music videos as performance pieces with her imaginary rock band, The Dozens. She makes the music and then makes a video collaborating with a different friend, who is the inspiration, each time.

The Art of Film





I just found these amazing stills from probably my favorite film, In the Mood for Love, directed by Wong Kar-wai. I could write pages about this man's incredible artistic vision and talent but these images stand on their own.

Sarah Maple... we were just talking about this.


"Maple has been compared heavily to one of Saatchi’s most famed discoveries Tracy Emin, as her work provocatively and honestly explores themes of sexuality, feminism, religion, and culture through the lens of a woman investigating her British-Muslim identity."

Banksy... "Media"

Something to think about...
