Local Profiles: Anne Leon

This afternoon I'm flying home to visit the Shire and see some local artists' work. Anne Leon is a textile artists and educator based in Byron. I've taken classes with Anne and worked in her studio, such inspiration! Below is some of her work featured at the recently renovated Art Piece Gallery in Mullumbimby.

Hitchcock's Women (via Vanity Fair)

Revisiting a Vanity Fair shoot from 2008 which I was reminded of recently during and English Literature lecture. We were looking at Marnie and its adaptation. Rear Window has always been my favouite Hitchcock film, the wit, but mostly the clothing makes it so watchable for me. In fact I'm getting nostalgic just thinking about it.

Felting brooches and visiting the Shire

On a recent visit to my hometown of Mullumbimby, NSW, I had many creative urges, one of which can be seen below.

The first version of a felted brooch, it reminds me of a Triffid.
