DISCOVERY

I have stumbled across this photographer called Phyllis Galembo who I have gone slightly mad over. I love this side of research because you discover people that you would never have really been looking for but actually get really influenced by. She considers herself to be a fine artist and photographer and a lot of her work or possibly all of it resides around African culture. It is Galembo's collection of images from her 'maske' collection that fascinate me. She has used traditional African carnival participants as the subject and I could not believe the colour and craftmanship (and actual style!) that goes into these costumes that they wear. I think I will look at this for the knit workshop because of all the colours and textures. Take a lookeylook>>
