Boobs, honey pots and fannies

•••
Boobs, honey pots and fannies. As a presentation of lovely lady bits, painter Morgan Miller delves into anti traditional classic portraiture in drastic crops and angles, imparting an undoubtedly intimate visual effect.

•••
As most likely the most terrifying piece of musical work created, The Noises We Make When No One Is Around oozes deathly echoes, voices screeching in agony as tormented banshees trapped in an intangible existence.

Allie Felton: textile prodigy

•••
Layer upon impending layer of typed utterances, tidings and remarks prudently interlaced. A fresco of hexagonal eyes framed in sapphire with untamed tassels at the base in opposition to the clean, tight geometry of the summit. Azure, fawn, azure in intricacy, and then pops of ornamental color: lime, rose, lemon, camel make up a stunning woven tapestry by tex[...]
