A note from the Editor:
An exhilarating safari around Sophie Standing’s exotic animal portraits, including our cover star, a purple-hued gorilla, is our lead article in the May/June issue. Sophie uses everything from eco-printing to appliqué and densely worked embroidery to bring her works to life and create an incredible energy in her work.

Sue Hotchkis’s work is similarly striking. She explains her delight in decay, the methods she uses to recreate this and how her travels abroad have influenced her oeuvre. Similarly, Marian Jazmik is influenced by travels to far-flung islands, as well as the coast at home, with her recent process-led work resulting in her series Corallum, based on coral.

Victoria Villasana from Mexico could be called the ‘Textile Banksy’ as she yarnbombs not only black and white portraits but the streets. Meanwhile, Sam Miller’s vintage-inspired art dolls are uncanny – a cross between rabbit-like people and sprites. Sam’s story of using art to recover from severe illness is an inspiring one.

Elsewhere, Katie Tubbing reveals her high fashion work, we preview London Craft Week and a forthcoming exhibition at the Tate, Now You See Us: Women artists in Britain 1520–1920, and meet one of the newest members of the 62 Group. Enjoy!
