Birds of a feather...




AUDREY CORREGAN
Perceptive, conceptual photographer Audrey Corregan chose to photograph majestic, stuffed birds from behind; perhaps in an attempt to get to the bottom of the issues of taxidermy and the transition from living animal to anonymous object. The nature of these beautiful photographs transforms the taxidermy birds into merely pleasing patterns and shapes, now unrecognisable as beasts and curiously challenging aesthetically.

Art deco and ecology


Eugene Alain Seguy

Eugene Alain Seguy was one of the foremost French designers at the beginning of the 20th century. Working in both the Art Deco and Art Nouveau styles, he published many design folios utilizing the pochoir technique, a printing process that employs a series of stencils to lay dense and vivid color.
Eugene Alain Seguy produced eleven albums of illustrations and designs from the turn of the century to the 1930s, and his style reflected the influences of both Art Nouveau and Art Deco.

Textile Project

I really want to work with textiles in my next project. I love ethnic textiles for their boundless eclectic patterns and vibrant colors. Mexican textiles and African prints are the most intriguing to me. I've been brainstorming with using a scanner to capture the texture and color schemes of some piece of fabric I own.
