Remember when someone remarked that there is nowhere in the world it is always Autumn? There is always Winter. There is always Summer. But there is never always Autumn. The earth cannot always be dying. While the deserts exsist, even deserts in our lives, they like Autumn, cannot last forever. At some point in our journey we find an oasis, a solace of sorts, and it is there we find rest, we find hope, we find life again. I started my New Year with a walk at one of my favorite nature reserves. It was a brutally chilled day and I left the house armed with my camera, but not my winter coat. Winter coats can be so cumbersome and fashionless. I walked arm in arm with my Mum. We weren't very talkative, but if there is one thing she is adamant about in the Indiana woods, it is to understand and not disturb the world you are observing (be seen, not heard). We waited to see creatures, but I'm sure they looked on thinking we were a bit mad to be embarking on this cold day into their world. Nonetheless we did see a woodpecker, a cardinal, and a bluejay. The quiet greeting our conversation was, I can only assume on my own part, brought on by the entrance of another year. A new 'anything' brings much reflection, good and bad, and not too little of the soul-searching we can all find ourselves in from time to time. Will you join me for all this year may have? Will we feast, will we fight, will find a freedom we cannot not fathom its beginning nor its end? I want to be a spring for Hope. I want the weakness of my mind to not Hinder my ability to move forward in baby steps or in leaps. I want to continue to Heal. Let's exsist this year.

By Tony Cragg
Tony Cragg (born 1949, UK) is one of the world’s foremost sculptors, constantly pushing to find new relations between people and the material world. In the 1980s, Cragg began to make sculptures suggestive of architecture...
These totemic piles of found objects and machined parts suggest an industrial counterpoint to the history of man-made achievements, while his other work nearby, Tools, made from sandstone, conveys the opposite, being hand wrought versions of mechanical aids, such as screwdrivers and mallets. Cragg sees no difference between the natural and the artificial, preferring to acknowledge the bridges between the two, the synthetic here acquiring figurative qualities in some of the bust-like tools, while his stacked turrets of spacers, washers and engine spares travel back through time to suggest archaeological accretions and geological strata.

Part of Everything at Once
Presented by Lisson Gallery and The Vinyl Factory at the Store Studios, 180 The Strand
October-December 2017
Lisson Gallery opened on Bell Street in 1967, a year after John Cage’s pronouncement on the changing conditions of contemporary existence. In celebration of this anniversary, the gallery is partnering with The Vinyl Factory to stage ‘EVERYTHING AT ONCE’, an ambitious group exhibition inspired by these words, which could very well apply to our current anxiety-ridden age of ceaseless communication. Through new and historical works by 24 of the artists currently shown by Lisson Gallery (out of more than 150 to have had solo shows over the past 50 years), this extensive presentation aims to collapse half a century of artistic endeavour under one roof, while telescoping its original aims into an unknowable future.
As Cage predicted, we increasingly live in an all-at-once age, in which time and space are no longer rational or linear concepts and great distances can be traversed with an instantaneous click. More than ever before, contemporary art, like life, assaults us simultaneously from all angles and from anywhere on the globe, existing also as multisensory visions of an accelerated world.
In response, ‘EVERYTHING AT ONCE’ is neither a chronological exhibition nor an encyclopaedic history of the gallery’s activities since 1967, rather it is an interconnected journey incorporating 45 works exploring experience, effect and event, invoking immediacy and immutability. Ranging from text to installation, painting, sculpture, performance and sound, the selection presents some of Lisson’s leading artists, of both the past and present...

Subtle eye colour with darker lining for layering.
When I released all my makeups at Kozmetika, I forgot to make a fatpack poster for the marketplace. Duh me >.<

A hyperrealistic surreal portrait of a young woman standing among shelves of colorful yarn balls. Her entire body and outfit are seamlessly made of flowing, three-dimensional strands of yarn in vivid rainbow hues—red, blue, green, yellow, orange, and violet. The yarn wraps tightly around her form, creating mesmerizing patterns that emphasize her elegance and symmetry. Her hair transforms into a radiant crown of coiled yarn, resembling both a headdress and a halo of creativity. Her piercing turquoise eyes contrast with the explosion of color surrounding her. The atmosphere radiates artistry, craftsmanship, and surreal fashion. Ultra-detailed, high-definition textures, cinematic lighting, 4K photography aesthetic.
On this side, the door is covered with the scuffs and scratches of everyday, quotidian existence, and the lighting is dark and dispiriting. It's different on the other side. The light streams under the door, hinting at something better, brighter, livelier. It's your door. You locked it. But where did you put the key?
