Student Artist Spotlight: Nessie Wise
“I started embroidering about five years ago following the discovery of a hoop and a bag of tangled threads in my house. Since then it’s become my favourite medium to work with as it is an incredibly freeing, expressive and forgiving medium to work with – there’s no such thing as an out of placeContinue reading “Student Artist Spotlight: Nessie Wise”
G-YOU’s Indie Festive Take Over
Winter is descending on Glasgow; with shorter days, colder nights and the inevitable same festive songs playing over and over again in shops. If you’ll be stuck in a retail job over the holiday period, or shudder at the thought of hearing the same tired and worn out ‘Now That’s What I Call Christmas’ tunesContinue reading “G-YOU’s Indie Festive Take Over”
Street Watch: The Pink Bear Rebel Strikes Again
The pink bear rebel strikes again in the city we call home, with perhaps his most controversial piece yet.

It Only Takes One Shot
In the past year, social media – in particular Instagram – has seen a rise in photos with a dubious warm saturation and some random date from the 90s printed in orange in the corner. They shamelessly mimic the quality of a photograph produced by an analogue camera using an app called HUJI, which hasContinue reading “It Only Takes One Shot”

Instant infrastructure: built to last?
After the Glasgow School of Art recently suffered its second blaze in four years, the permanence of architecture has been playing on my mind. For a building to stand for over a century and then be destroyed by fire twice in such a short period is an eerie coincidence. But in the grand scheme ofContinue reading “Instant infrastructure: built to last?”
