via theguardian.comPhotographer Steve Fitch has captured motel signs across the US, showing a range of styles during different decades, displayed at a new exhibition at the Joseph Bellows Gallery in La Jolla, California. ‘What does matter is the idea of theme and variation, how a collection can be interesting because of the variety of specimens,’ Fitch said. ‘A collection of butterflies illustrates this idea, for example, and photography is such a great medium for collecting and comparing, which -

via theguardian.comCook’s curvy characters are glamorous, comfortable in their skins and uncompromising. In real life, I am constantly bombarded with fatphobiaWith an exhibition of Beryl Cook’s work having just opened at Studio Voltaire in London, I have been thinking about what it means to occupy a fat body.
