A chat with Mona Plumer digging into the legacy of Yowie’s expanded space and what South Street means to her.
Noorann Matties is a Philadelphia-based artist, whose online presence in spaces like Tumblr and Gaia Online inspired a career that has continued to transform in line with her curiosity and exploration of mediums like photography, knitworks, and beaded curtains.
Noorann sat down with me to talk fashion, nostalgia, and the iterative ritual of her art practice.
A native of Philadelphia, Nicholas Santore has spent his career using pattern and bold color to evoke nostalgic architectures collaged from places both real and imagined. His use of corporate and abandoned building elements mixed with forced perspectives create dreamy landscapes that feel like memory. His piece, After the Gold Rush, reveals a pristine cerulean and cream balcony jutting and leaning in the foreground of a dilapidated, graffitied building. I sat down with Nicky to chat about his career as an artist, his design inspirations, and his newest endeavor - illustrating a book.
