quote [ ?The biggest limiting factor right now is that almost everything that anyone wants is has to be from existing IP,? says Johnston, whose newest project is an animated adaptation of Roald Dahl?s ?The Twits? for Netflix. ?And that that the notion of an original idea is somehow scary, certainly to a marketing entity, because they just have to work harder to get it into the public?s consciousness. That?s the bummer.? ]

quote [ When Georgiana Houghton first exhibited her paintings at a London gallery in 1871, their wild eddies of colour and line were unlike anything the public had seen before ? nor would see again until the rise of abstract art decades later. But there was little intentionally abstract about these images: Houghton painted entities she met in the spirit regions. Viewing her works through the prism of friendship, loss, and faith, Jennifer Higgie turns overdue attention on an artist neglected by historians, a visionary who believed that death was not the end, merely a new distance to overcome. ]

Stassa Edwards examines the role that reproduction ? photographic, biological ? plays in this oeuvre, and searches for the only person not captured clearly: Hawarden herself. ]
