Four blacktip reef sharks swim amongst a school of bait fish off the coast of Argentina.
The fish, naturally, do not seem happy to see said sharks.

In this striking new series, New Zealand-based artist Henry Hargreaves worked with New York-based stylist Caitlin Levin to create gorgeous maps all made out of food.
[T]he two decided to take the food each country is most known for – spices for India, tomatoes for Italy, kiwi for New Zealand – and arrange them.
Henry tells us, “These maps show how food has traveled the globe – transforming and becoming a part of the cultural identity of that place. Who doesn’t know the saying ‘throw some shrimp on the barbie’ and not think of Australia? Who goes to France without eating bread and cheese? And who makes a Brazilian caipirinha without a fistful of limes?
“These maps are a playful representation of our interpretation of food from around the world, painstakingly created with real unadulterated food. This project speaks to the universality of how food unites people, brings us together and starts conversation.”

Ever since its invention, the screw hasn’t changed its style and function. Screws are used everywhere but are easily overlooked.
This time, I focused on them. Not only can it be used as a tool, but by adding the joy of discovery.

In 2009, Jesse Krimes (yep, that’s his real surname) was sentenced to 70 months in a federal penitentiary for cocaine possession and intent to distribute.
[H]is mammoth artwork Apokaluptein: took three years to make and it is a meditation on heaven, hell, sin, redemption, celebrity worship, deprivation and the nature of perceived reality. Krimes says his “entire experience” of prison is tied up in the artwork.
Through trial and error, Krimes discovered that he could transfer images from New York Times newspapers on to prison bedsheets. At first he used water, but the colours bled. Hair gel had the requisite viscosity. As a result, all imagery is reversed.
The title Apokaluptein: derives from the Greek root ‘apokalupsis.’ Apokaluptein means to uncover, or reveal. was Krimes’ Federal Bureau of Prisons identification number.
Where there is a will there is…Art?
