We are so excited to announce that Adipocere is our first confirmed artist to be included in the zine called Men Can Make Kickass Fiber Art Too that we are making to accompany our Feminist Fiber Art Exhibit this summer! He is an incredibly talented embroidery artist based in Melbourne, Australia that works almost exclusively on natural linen. You can follow him on tumblr, instagram, and check out his shop to see more of his macabre work.  The exhibit will take place in Boston this August, with artists that identify as women participating from all over the world. The artwork that is physically present in the exhibit will only have been created by artists that identify as female, to give a voice to women artists who are frequently shafted from professional art exhibitions. However, since the whole point of feminism is that men and women are equal, we wanted to feature male artists in some way, so we decided to create this zine! The zine will spotlight Adipocere’s work, since he has sparked so many people’s interest in fiber art with his beautifully creepy embroidery. And the awesome Squishy Sandwich will illustrate doodles across the pages of the zine.  WE ARE STILL ACCEPTING SUBMISSIONS for the zine from fiber artists that identify as men. Every artists that we accept will receive a two-page spread in the zine dedicated to his artwork, with a bio and brief interview. These artists will also be promoted on our various blogs and in some articles related to the exhibit. You can check out the application form here!

Simon Butterworth - Blue Fields

Photographer Simon Butterworth has beautifully captured the Useless Loop solar salt operation in Shark Bay, Australia to create a stunning aerial photography series entitled Blue Fields. The images, which could be mistaken for oil paintings, are part of a larger, long-term project, Aesthetics of the Unexpected, where Butterworth explores the relationships between perception, expectation and reality.

Shot from a light aircraft, flying at roughly 5,000 feet, Butterworth said: “The height was crucial in order to flatten perspective by using long focal lengths. Time of day and cloud cover were also critical, the abstract effect being heightened by complete lack of signifying shadow.” [Creative Boom]
