Artist Feature: Hanna Gustafsson

Hanna Gustafsson is a self-taught photographer from the woods of Sweden, currently based in Stockholm. She wrote her thesis about the girl gaze and how women portray other women in photography. For months she was digging up books about “the female nude”, the male gaze vs girl gaze, representation through photography and feminist theory. She found that the debate was a lot about portraying women differently, in traditionally “manly” poses and so on - but there was very little being said about changing how we portray men.Boys will be boys, they say. Hanna thinks we have to talk about how we portray men - and open up for the very narrow image of men as strong, active, rational, dominant, and sexually confident, while women would be the binary opposite.

Artist Feature: Buckley

Buckley is a visual philosopher. Her works manifest in varied forms, including: drawings, paintings, sculpture, performance, poetry, and experiential events. Through each medium, she reveals the mythology of an enlightened society. A synthesis of modern voicing and ancient forms, Buckley’s works traverse the symbolic and timeless experiences of self, prompting conscious contemplation of inner life. Buckley’s stream of consciousness process creates a sense of instant action which can be felt immediately in her glyph-like imagery; its lines exact and seemingly completed in one stroke. Her interplay of form and space are as honest and direct as instinct. Rather than dictating the complexities of reality, Buckley’s inclination towards simplicity invites the viewer to deploy their own facilities of reason, intuition and reflection.
