(Florence Broadhurst)
(Art work by Emma Hack)Tragically murdered in her own studio, Australian artist and designer, Florence Broadhurst was renowned for her exquisitely designed wallpapers. Her colourful, geometric and naturally inspired pieces were instantly recognisable due to their sheer detail and beauty. Mesmerised by her collection of prints, Emma Hack decided to use some of Broadhurst's most recognisable pieces in her own photography and body art work. Using live models to 'play' against the character and charm of each print, she decided to painstakingly hand paint each design in order to create living illusionary art. For me, the beauty of each print and its retracing onto skin is simply astounding. The idea of patterns lifted from the fragile paper and placed on equally fragile bare skin is a beautiful one.

These are absolutely beautiful. I can't stop looking back at the beautiful patterns and colors.
And the entire concept is just fantastic - I had never heard of Emma Hack or Florence Broadhurst, to be honest, but now I have such an appreciation for their work!
So thank you DK! And enjoy your weekend :)
mmmm, this kind of reminds me of that scene in garden state when zach braff's character is wearing the shirt that matches the wall paper.
i want my room to have some of that wall paper all over it.
