Mixed Media Artist - Leah Abucayan

What is art? The question is a source of much debate. In this day and age those who take their creativity and innovation to the next level by combining it with today’s technology or by using objects the average person might not find beauty in continually redefine what we believe is art.

Take for instance, Northern California based artist Leanza Abucayan; This 20 year old from Sacramento has taken to using duct tape as one of her preferred mediums in building and creating art. Armed with her pile of multicolored duct tape rolls, Leanza, or Leah (as in the princess!) for short, transforms canvas’ into spectacular pieces of modern art.

Photographer - Sandra Lara

I always say to myself when I make images,
"I want to make people feel (insert emotion)".

If I can't make myself feel anything then I have failed in the image making process.
I was trying to go for a dramatic mood with the bold, italic, underlined look...

And with the next feature on As One Curation, I genuinely felt (insert emotion) about spanish portrait photographer Sandra Lara.

1) I believe 
that the sun says, “Good morning,”
sarcastically. 
At 6 AM
he raises his fingers
and outlines my chest
and whispers, “Today, I will
shine for you again”
But when 7 PM comes
all I can hear 
are his promises
bleeding through the windows.
He whispers, “I will love you again tomorrow.”
But by midnight he is just a dream.
2) Today arrives
and I see him dancing
with another person.
(I am broken)
For me
the only good thing
about this morning
was knowing that 
there was a tonight.

Winter is

a bare tree.

Loosely rooted with
fragile bark, skinny branches
reaching towards the sky but
they are frozen.

40 mph winds

crashing against

prickly skin.

I am winter.

And my biggest mistake
was falling in love
with disaster.

Photographer - Peter Currie

Now it's time.
The birth.
The born.
The awakening.

The first blog post to As One Curation.

And as a treat, I am showcasing photographer Peter Currie, a resident of O' Canada and a current Concordia University student.


 I had the pleasure of interviewing him about his latest series of images ON/OFF. I found Peter's wonderful website while browsing varies photography outlets such as Flickr, Tumblr, etc. I am so happy and humbled to have him on the curation.
