Crafted with acrylic, rhinestones, and enamel, the vibrant interwoven patterns adorning Thomas’ work are inspired by her childhood in the 1970s. Thomas chooses to depict powerful women such as her mother, celebrities, and iconic art-historical figures. (..)”

Areth: An Architectural Atlas + Selections from the Joint Photographic Survey. Two interesting projects by Adam Ryder.
“Both Areth and Survey ask the viewer to re-imagine the known as the unknown,” he says, “And hopefully invite viewers to use their own perspective for creative re-imagination of their environment.” Areth, part of Ryder’s MFA thesis (2010-11), was a challenge to academic practice.

”[..] There are great war photographers covering Aleppo, like Goran Tomasevic. His work alone is phenomenal. Tyler Hicks has done beautiful work, so I didn’t really feel like I was in a position to add anything. When it became clear that there were some stories that I can do that were relatively safe, in areas that were fully under rebel control and with translators and fixers that The New York Times team really trusted, I felt that maybe it was the right time to give it a shot.
