i've been looking at revital cohen's provoking work recently, UTTERLY gutted she actually came to our uni for a lecture only a few days ago and i didn't have a clue about it! (cross-curriculum communication sucks ass - i also managed to miss the epically amazing tim walker because it was posted so last minute - grhhhh!)…anyway, rant over. cohen controversially proposes the use of animals as medical devices, rendering the human almost parasitical, but she harnesses the design in a way that is beneficial for both animal and human…they become dependant on one another to survive; her 'respiratory dog' illustrates this fascinating relationship between species.

i reeeally, really like vicky wright's 'guardian' series. using oil on board, she's created an almost crystal-like organic form that progresses out from its modest canvas. heavily influenced by her family's involvement in coal mining, it deals with the de-stabilization of the human figure and the economic demise of the industry.

gorgeous snake skin handbag from after.the.apple
from the olive shop, newly launched jewellery line by antwerp's ek thongprasert...'his pieces propel traditional tribal jewellery aesthetics to new futuristic heights incorporating silicone and lurid colours.' also from site; these punk, studded oxford platforms - swanky.
