Art Energizing 2018

There is no better way to begin 2018 than by drawing inspiration from creative artists and designers who make out-of-the-box experimentation their motto; innovatively extending beyond their existing artistic boundaries to crest new horizons and shoot for the furthest stars; engaging in constructive dialogues on the possibilities of breaching impossibilities…  …the very essence of humanity’s […]

As artificial intelligence sits poised to ‘compete’ with us for the spaces in societies we have inhabited in a solar system ever so vulnerable to almost uncontrollable cosmic interference, the fragility of our very psychological and physical existence bears sharply on our daily living – be it mundane routines as dancers go about their rehearsals […]

Art Selfies To End Summer

Summer is when we enjoy a jaunt in the park most; especially when sublime clay sculptures are magically placed amongst the woods for our children and the child in us to discover… a definite time for engaging in fantasy worlds where life is dreamlike, ethereal and surreal… one ever worthy of a selfie moment for […]
