XXXXXIII: Press & Styling: Curation Redux

I had the pleasure of being a part of the premiere cover of Curation Redux 

- a new magazine, launched and curated by Benjamin Walls. 

This beauty editorial had Meggie M. from M.A.C as the makeup artist and Anna Gaul from Stephen Marr on hair. It was photographed by Oliver Rose and styled by myself. The hand-knitted and embroidered piece worn by the model, Cindy @ Clyne Models, is from Perennial 2013 which is currently in stock at Miss Crabb.

Limited copies of Issue No. 1 of Curation Redux will be sold at  Miss Crabb and Children of Vision in Auckland, along with Dead Set stores in Christchurch and Wellington.

XXXXI: Return

After a hiatus from creating any work, it appears now that I have returned. Over the last few months, there have been several changes in general goals, which have shaped current perspectives.

Expect to see work in the next few weeks that looks both, retrospectively (addressing my hand crafted artisan fixation), as well as ahead. It is a slow resuscitation, so I’ll be taking my good old sweet time as always; garnishing the old with some of the new. But most importantly, in hopes of demonstrating growth, development and a process of evolution. Here's to the future.

-Areez.

P.S. it's certainly good to be back.
