Malika Favre—why making it look easy is so very hard.
Posted by Joshua Roberton on
Malika Favre has some wonderful new screen print editions, and while printing them we got to talking about the art, the printing process, and why it is that to appear effortless is so excruciatingly difficult.

Posted by Rebecca Cleal on
Mesmerising scarcely comes close to describing the effect Peter's artwork has on the eyes. We'd be happy to use that description for any of his works, but for Ayahuasca it is particularly apt.
