I first wrote about Ludwika Ogorzelec's Space Crystallization Cycle after seeing her show here in NYC last February. Her prolific installation of site specific cellophane lattice has graced a broad range of settings since the series began a couple years ago. The latest... farmland.
Farming With Mary is a Queensland Australia project that brought environmental artists from all over the globe to the farming community.

In this large-format book, Takahashi presents 25 double-page spreads, each with a photograph of the moon...
Australian photographer and designer Anthony Newman has been exploring collage art with his latest series of works: "Originally started from a few mixed media paintings, the Dangerous Diary was born out of my need to explore collage. I was also really taken by the fact that new artwork could be created by found, and usually discarded, objects in my environment—bill posters, flyers, stuff left...
Melbourne may well be miles from most of the world's cultural epicenters, but when it comes to appreciation of quality photographic art, Melbournians know their stuff.
