LORN // REMNANT
Self-described as "Pain Management" LORN's "REMNANT" is the personal embodiment of struggle and the audible bloodletting is testament to that internal battle. LORN takes refuge in manifesting his melancholy and desolation through his art and it shows. There is an evolution in LORN's sound, a rawness and eagerness to let go and what he leave behinds with REMNANT is a musical pilgrimage of fearlessness and hope.
"clouded, farther than the periphery, smeared electronics flood the stairwell. banished formants glow through chain links. a distant storm, an empty breeze is stuck on pause. shapes contest their own shadows in the noise. my mind is hunted, tangled and wrung out by endless phantom waves. offer them the REPLIKA."
LILITH VIPER // "SELF LOVE" COLLECTION
Self Love is a collaboration between best friends, Lucy Carlson (Designer) and Abby Drielsma (Tattooist). The collection is inspired by the detailed and dreamy Self Love titled flash illustrations by Abby and the message is simple: acceptance, love and kindness for oneself.
For Lucy and Abby, the true realisation of self-love was consummated through similar struggles and only properly came about in recent years after experiencing loss and heartache that forced them to rebuild their sense of self worth independently as opposed to co-dependently. Recognising patterns of post-traumatic growth after bringing the focus back to their selves highlighted what true happiness and self love meant and enabled them to prosper personally and professionally. Lucy and Abby worked together translating these illustrations to many of the garments from the collection through embroidery, beading and screen printing, harnessing Lucy's fashion design and sewing skills and Abby's expertise in visual communications, composition and placement of imagery.
The amalgamation of tattoo design and fashion between the love of two friends resulted in the creation of 'Self Love' - a euphoric and euphemistic floral neon fantasy that plays with a dichotomy of beauty and vulgarity with flowing silks and skin-tight, garish pvc.
