Yeay! Two, new, fashion-y Abbey injections a month...
She is one of Australia's finest young artists. She was an Archibald finalist in 2009. Abbey McCulloch will be blogging for The Collective every fortnight, taking inspiration from RUSSH shoots, RUSSH people and RUSSH TV.

Love hurts
It can go f*ck itself.
The always clever Maurizio Cattelan recently unveiled a new sculpture entitled L.O.V.E. in front of Milan’s Stock Exchange to coincide with his retrospective at the city’s Royal Palace. Standing over 36 feet high, the statue flips off Milan’s city center and continues Cattelan’s brilliant tradition challenging convention with humor and sophisticated wit. Text Juliana Balestin.

The paper bowerbird
Back in the day, when I sat at a desk for a living, I stole an abandoned corkboard from some unused corridor in the building and propped it up in my little cubicle, behind my computer. It stayed bare for a long while, and as time went on, little by little, I would come across something I liked which inspired me, and I covered said corkboard with the handiwork of some of my favourite illustrators and artists, most of which, I'm proud to say, were Australian.
With each job change, and hence cubicle re-location, all the little bits of paper print-outs, which I cared for like valuable canvases, that I had taped, tacked and wedged into the corkboard, would come off and then reassembled as a different white-ish quilt in their new 3m sq home.
For a while I had a girl who sat next to me, an art director and editor of a small food magazine, who had the same taste in pretty illustrations as me, and as we came across pictures we liked, we would swap links and print things off for each other, creating not-so-similar twin corkboards.
After the fateful "swift Exodus" from the building, all my bits of treasure that I had collected for years went into a manilla folder, and then into a box, and now live under my parents' house. Which kinda makes me sad.
My new 'office' no longer contains a desk, but I have recently acquired a new corkboard, that sits on my desk in my little wooden room, and while I wouldn't dream of recreating on my new corkboard the collage of favourites I had in my old cubicle, I missed seeing all these pretty images, and well, posting a few on this little blog of mine is a different story...

Illo for Australian fashion designer Marnie Skillings AFW show invite. My friend received this invite to the show, and I swiped it. Not to attend, but for the corkboard.

Ok, a Kiwi, but in true Australian tradition, I'm including her. Ladyhawke's visual collaborator.

Louise Bourgious
“I make drawings to cancel the unspeakable. The unspeakable is not a problem to me. It is just the beginning of my work. Dressing is also an exercise of memory. It makes me explore the past: how I felt when I wore that dress. Clothes take the same function as road signs while looking for the past.”
One of the most inspiring and inspired exhibits I've visited.
So special to see this French artist's work while on vacance in Venice.
