Dear art friends,

This week I discovered the work of Alix Vernet through this film. Her process peels objects and texture from New York City and felt like a fitting lead-in to our search for inspiration. The rest take us to flickers of light, illustration inspired by the live sounds of jazz, and desire penned on a mussel shell.

London! The Other Art Fair returns this October, from the 8th to the 11th at Truman Brewery. I have shared this fair with you before, and I love attending because it's always an opportunity to discover work from incredible independent living artists.

This year is no different, with 135+ artists, four standout debuts, music, live poetry, and a creative corner for all ages to create art together. The Under £300 collection returns, offering a curated selection focused on affordability for collectors. I’m delighted to be giving away a limited number of tickets.

Hope to see you there!
