🃏-Smile and paint us red-🃏
This art installation in Washington Square Park was more than an exhibition to me; it was an invitation to reflect on our roles in the collective masterpiece that is society. It’s a celebration of the dynamic interplay between government and individual agency, set against the backdrop of an open space where art is not a privilege but a shared journey for all to experience and explore.
Thank you again to everyone who stopped by, it was an honour to share this experience and meet you all 🖤

Smile and paint us red
Cover our eyes with a thread
Pick us up and put us down
Standing here alone as your clowns
To manoeuvre and twist
To abuse as you wish
A shadow we’re becoming
Due to all your stomping
Stick to your lane they say
Stick to your lane and let us pave your way
Cracks created in our foundation
Whilst you sit at your station
Broken cement on the floor
As you rally up your own score
A choice we have you say
A choice
Whilst keeping us in the grey
Because you would rather us stay and cry
Cry until all the lakes and rivers are filled
Then stay in misery until killed
Smile and paint us red
In heaps of love and depth of despair
Here we go disappear into thin air
It’s sad
How we love to haunt one another
How we love to hide behind our masks and judge
It’s sad
How we love to open the gates of hell for one another
How we love to hate
And blame it on fate
But as we sit you and point fingers at everyone else
Why not take the time to reflect on ourselves
Let’s stop complimenting others whilst looking at them with a frown
Let’s stop judging because of insecurities
Then putting people down for absurdities
It’s sad
How you smile and paint us red
Whilst letters are left unread
Shadows holding our threads
Whilst you cover our eyes in dread
We cannot thrive with darkness growing throughout our veins
So stop using our pain
For you to use and abuse for your own gain

Le Sage marked the beginning of my exploration between traditional art and artificial intelligence. At its center stands a painting I created by hand, drawn from ancestral wisdom. While AKIRA, trained in my artistic style replicates it live, translating my process through its own digital logic. Together we examine how technology can mirror, extend, and even challenge the artist’s hand. This installation reflects my ongoing dialogue between heritage and innovation, human emotion and algorithmic creation.

@heathermary.jackson and I have been carrying this issue in our heads for longer than we’ve admitted to most people.
What you’re holding is one year of a small team refusing to make something ordinary. Ten covers, because ten stories deserved the front. Three hundred and twelve pages, because the work asked for the room. No advertising, because we wanted the pages to belong to the work.
It’s a small argument for making things slowly. With people you trust. In a moment that rewards the opposite.
It’s real. Issue One is yours. Thank you for being part of it.
To our incredible team. You’re beyond imagining, we adore you. Thank you!

View Instagram Stories in Secret
The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
