I was putting all of this together and thinking through what it would mean to look after my own milk in none so vexing pornographic terms. The...

How to Do The Flowers by Ruth van Beek featured in ASX
By Brad Feuerhelm
"Ruth Van Beek’s practice involves an unashamed focus on craft, abstraction and archive. The work as it has evolved has taken on a new persistence in which she compels to produce form that is not easily given over to representation. If you are of a certain generation you will be able to read the work or at least the genesis of its flow by association to children’s television, gardening and cooking books on your grandparents shelves and a number of hazy monuments to mimcry that they produce"...

Khichdi (Kitchari) by Nick Sethi featured in Office Magazine
By Paige Silveria
"Printed in New Delhi, the 432-page explosion of vibrant imagery is the result of ten years worth of trips to India by Sethi who is American by birth, Indian by heritage. Though there is no set theme, the book touches upon gender, technology (lots of face swapping in there) and creeping westernization (you can spot some incredible rhinestoned bootleg gear imitating brands like Louis Vuitton and Nike).
