John Stezaker



A couple of weeks ago I visited the John Stezaker exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery. Being a big fan of collage art, I was excited to see these for real. It was indeed a treat to see such striking images most of which are achieved with a simple cut, fold, or juxtaposition. Very refreshing to see amongst our photoshop-world. Sadly, the exhibition finished a few days ago, but do look into his work!

Craft by guys


GRAIN & GRAM: The New Gentlemans Journal
has some truly beautiful photography and page layout. The few craftsmen they have interviewed so far definitely fit a certain aesthetic but you can't deny what they are doing and making and producing has a high quality perfectionist touch.
My only itch is that its aimed at men, crafty gals like us at The Nest get just as much joy and satifaction from wood grain and welding!

tree of codes





New Jonathan Safran Foer book Tree Of Codes explores the sculptural and physical elements of a book; using die-cutting he has created a whole new narrative from the existing text Street of Crocodiles by Bruno Schulz. ...wow!

bears adore snickers

“Imagine, if you will, lying in the dark alone in a little tent, nothing but a few microns of trembling nylon between you and the chill night air, listening to a 400-pound bear moving around your campsite. Imagine its quiet grunts and mysterious snufflings, the clatter of upended cookware and sounds of moist gnawings, the pad of its feet and the heaviness of its breath, the singing brush of its haunch along your tent side. Imagine the hot flood of adrenaline, that unwelcome tingling in the back of your arms, at the sudden rough bump of its snout against the foot of your tent, the alarming wild wobble of your frail shell as it roots through your backpack that you left casually propped by the entrance—with, you suddenly recall, a Snickers in the pouch. Bears adore Snickers, you’ve heard.”

—Bill Bryson, A Walk in the Woods
