In conversation with Baltimore based illustrator, educator and writer George Wylesol. . @wylesol_ . Love these explorations of ‘pointless’ images. Extract: . ‘Right now I’m making work that’s ‘pointless’ I don’t really have a better word to describe this feeling. Images that have no intentional meaning, purgatorial spaces, preoccupied figures. Not that the work itself is pointless, but is maybe exploring the indifference of the universe. It’s hard to put it into words.’ . Full interview in journal section.

First correspondent interview by my friend Léa Franceschi who interviewed Ludgi Savon (aka Maison Novas) and this interview is published in both French and English. If you don't know Ludgi's work check it out – really inspiring. He discusses his work which is mainly performance based and often uses intricate sewing and costume making. . @lulunovas . EXTRACT 'For instance I can remember those roses my grandfather was constantly taking care of in our family garden. As I started developing my work as an artist, I quickly realised that my fascination for the vegetal world was born from this vivid memory, that it was a story I had to tell: I made a performance out of it.' .

I recently interviewed Argentinian photographer Cecilia Fernandez on her intimate and revealing self portraits she takes exploring self-image. EXTRACT 'Through my work I try to express myself. Sometimes my feelings are a bit complex and words are not enough to transmit the depth of these emotions which are part of this world I inhabit. When I say that I ‘inhabit strangely’ I am talking about an idea of not understanding completely what happens to me. It’s like being in limbo, where I am… me, my feelings, my body, my mind… all of them trying to be friends.' .

In conversation with North Carolina based artist Reneesha also known as @rnwulf . Full interview in the journal section of www.unseensketchbooks.co.uk . Extract ‘Experiencing the process of childbirth and motherhood introduced to me to this unexplainable desire to create. There’s so much newness surrounding new moms that for me I had to put all of that emotion to paper/canvas. I knew so many women who were ashamed of their postpartum bodies and I loved mine. I loved that my belly softly protruded. I loved that my breast showed signs of nursing, long, uneven, full, empty, nourishing. I like to challenge the mind and create a level of normalcy when it comes to the many different ways bodies thrive while pushing the boundaries on what is real and imaginary.’ . #motherhood #imperfection #perfection #expressionism #sketching #painting #paint #brushes #birth #postpartumbody #postpartumjourney #postpartumart #postpartumarts #postpartumarttherapy #postpartumartist
