Upcoming work, news, inspiration, randomness — all that we do and all that is us.

  • Not many sports can boast an equal playing field between men or women, but table tennis comes close. One of Singapore’s most feted sports, it requires a minimum of two players, constituting a form of dialogue between the players on opposite sides.

    Using vintage postcards, Italian artist Caterina Rossato creates 3-D collages with X-Acto knifes by cutting up layers of cards and reassembling them.
