YermaS from Tommaso Pedone on Vimeo.
Tommaso Pedone is a videoartist and designer from Italy. He has created an experimental and abstract interpretation of the words of Garcia Lorca using the expressions of Japanese Butoh dance.
I admit that I find a lot of his work to be impenetrable and strange but I'm posting it because I love the challenge of it; I love finding myself outside of known things. This isn't for everybody but I'm sure that some of you will find it interesting.
"Love of beauty is taste. The creation of beauty is art."
RALPH WALDO EMERSON
I love the idea behind Van Sarki's Burl Esque Book; it's an honest and unpretentious look at how people express themselves through the masks they wear. You can find a full description on his Kickstarter page. Go support him.
"Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth."
OSCAR WILDE
"I think a person's true being is captured physically when they are natural and have no hair or make-up, no mask to hide under. And then a persons true emotional and intellectual being is captured through interaction when they are wearing a mask."
VAN SARKI
Van Sarki has created a beautiful series of photographs that he is putting into a book. This is a project that we should really get behind.
You can find a full description of Van Sarki's Burl Esque Book on Kickstarter.

Stephen Burridge is an accomplished photographer based in London. There is a very interesting edge to his work.
Danny Lane is a young photographer working to get his name out there. He's a bit of a dark horse; it's going to be interesting to see where he goes.
This is just a little reminder to go and follow my friend Matthew Hindley. He is a great painter with a very original voice. He is represented by BRUNDYN + GONSALVES.
There is something unsettling in the paintings of Matthew Hindley. His closed spaces draw you in; they invite intimacy and yet are filled with dreamlike strangeness and impenetrable darkness.
Matt is an extraordinary painter; his work is authentic and relevant. Go follow him on his tumblr.
If you are interested in buying his work; he is represented by BRUNDYN + GONSALVES.
