1. Joseph Cornell, Untitled (Birds) 1942
Cornell is one of my favourite artists, his work facinates me. I love the way his boxes seem like tiny worlds.
2. Su Blackwell
Su Blackwell is an artist who i discovered about two years ago, she creates wonderful artwork by cutting scenes and objects out of books. The books she uses are often children's fiction and the work is based on the story. She literally brings the story to life.
3. Glinn Burt, Moscow School 1963
What I like about this photograph, is that for me, it captures childhood perfectly - for children, the universe is about as unrealted to you as the politics of your country, they are just words you hear in school.
4. Anne Frank's Dairy
On a holiday to Amsterdam, I visited the Anne Frank house. They had her original diary on show, and everytime i see this postcard, it makes me want to start a scrap book. In a way, this is what i wish all my sketchbooks looked like.
5.Margret Bushby Lascelles Cockburn, Vernal Hanging-Parrot
This image is more for the type of illustration rather than the artist herself. I love old natural history illustations. They are almost a lost art nowadays and I am facinated by thier intricacy. I bought a book called Birds, The Art of Ornithology when I was on holiday this year, which this image is from.
