Polina Washington

Polina Washington is a dream maker based in Saint Petersburg. Her otherworldly photography is my new obsession. Believe me, once you have seen a few of her images, you will have an overwhelmingly strong desire to seek out all of them.

Looking at the works of Polish fashion photographer Marcin Nagraba it's difficult to believe he was born in 1992. Insanely talented Polish fashion designer Agnieszka Ospia is the one behind the exquisite costumes. Enjoy his beautiful captures, I think you will be with them for a while.

I thrive on fear. I live to feel my heart quicken and my bones shake. The monotype prints of artist Grady Gordon instal a fear which I haven't felt in a good while. if I were to cut my finger, nothing would happen. Gorden's gorgeously terrifying visions have frozen the blood inside my arteries.

There's a fairy tale aura surrounding the work of German photographer Katharina Jung.

There's a beautiful, yet dark sacredness to the work of New York based artist Leilani Bustamante.

The photography of polish artist Maciej Goraczko is exactly the sort of extreme dark art that Wyrd Words & Effigies was set up to celebrate. As I scrolled through his work, my excitement became almost too much to handle.

People say love is a strong word. Well, it doesn't seem strong enough to adequately describe how I feel about these black and white waterolours from Indonesian artist Elicia Edijanto.
