amy earles has some lovely new work at double punch in a group show called 'we have a remedy' with another favorite, betsy walton. what i love most about her work is the strange images she invokes, often seemingly rooted in the nostalgic effect of fairy tales coupled with elements of the dark and ghostly. painted with gouache, her new work has the same delicate approach as her hinged paper dolls available to cut up and play with on her etsy shop, yet each read as a contained universe within the image.

although i can't consider myself an avid collector, i do have a small collection of some pop surrealist gems. i've always wanted to add a piece by kelly tunstall and hope that i can soon in the next few years. she's showing over at doublepunch gallery this month and although i can't be there for the opening night tomorrow, i can't wait to see the work! for now, check out her work from last november with her equally talented hubby ferris plock from their limited addiction gallery show 'reconstruction'. her work always surprises me; her style has a few veins to it and the quirky yet playfully feminine women are always in the most lovely and interesting situations, whether alone or paired with one of ferris's monsters. i love it all and i know you will too!
