| | | Faye Claridge : Descendants of the Unfamiliar
Danielle Arnaud Contemporary Art, London, UK United Kingdom In Faye Claridge�s latest work, Morris dancers from a number of different traditions are brought together for a remarkably unsettling photographic series. Claridge has worked with the dancers and created specially painted backdrops, to explore a myriad of social and artistic issues. Claridge�s key interest is subjectivity and our relationships to strangers in the present and the past. She deliberately works on the margins of society, with groups who are ridiculed or feared for the image they portray of themselves and their national identity. - Read Indepth Article at http://www.absolutearts.com

The Art of Creating Art from Art
Ellen Fisch, New York
 My earliest recollections are of an elaborate grate that covered an air shaft in the house where I was raised in Brooklyn. The pattern of swirls-the positive and negative space-the completeness of the Victorian design captivated me. The vent went out into a back yard and because the brass plate so fascinated me, I created elaborate visual images in my mind that incorporated the polished plate, shadowy shaft and the leafy garden beyond. I sketched the grate and used black Crayola crayons to block out the negative space. One day, I discovered a way of looking at the plate and my sketches through the viewfinder of my Dad's Kodak Brownie. It was magic! So began my passion for architectural elements that define and augment visual space and my desire to create own art from these masterworks of stone, metal, glass and wood.
