Amelia’s Magazine has been asked to produce a piece of artwork for an exhibition that Shelter will be putting on in the summer. Other designers and artists who will be contributing to the exhibition include Stella Vine, Basso and Brooke and Rachel Whiteread. The final artworks will be auctioned to raise money for Shelter, and it’s a great honour to be asked to contribute to this. I’ve been given the TWO OF HEARTS, and the plan is to put together a patchwork quilt of cards in many different styles and designs, all depicting the TWO OF HEARTS. But I am not going to do this alone; in keeping with the way that I have produced the magazine this patchwork will be made up from contributions from illustrators. So I need your submissions! The best playing card designs will be added to the quilt and your name will be credited in the exhibition which you will also be invited to attend.
Miles Aldridge’s pictures describe a surprisingly glossy and electromagnetic pulsating world, full of smooth, illuminated models and venomous LSD colour tones. With his phosphorescent compositions and mystical situations, he balances between contemporary and figurative photography.
His latest book “Miles Aldride: Pictures Photographs” will be released this spring by Steidl.
