Maurizio Anzeri



Graduating with a MA in sculpture the use of threadwork has always be apparent in the work she has made including that of huge hair sculptures in her earlier work. In family album though Anzeri has taken photographs carefully stitching over them leaving the eyes and mouth fully visible, the result is a somewhat disturbing and beautiful image. See more of the work at: http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/yourgallery/artist_profile/Twinkle+Troughton/12782 or if your in london you can get down to the photographers gallery.

Photochaining



So a very interesting photography blog with a very interesting idea, basically the idea of photochaining is that photographers go out and take some arty cool photographs on a cheap memory card, they then name that memory card and pop it into a envelope, the envelope is then left somewhere interesting with a note about the site, the finder then uploads the photographs to the site, erase the card and you the finder begins the process. You can see more of the project at: http://www.photochaining.com
