Studio visit with artist Jeanne Masaero. In conjunction with the Mexican Year of Exchange, independant art advisor and curator Sandra Higgins is showing Jeanne Masaero's Invisible Cities: A Mayan Journey. The paintings - figures in light - were inspired by her visits to Mayan sites in the late 1970's; they resemble topographical maps created out of tiny grains of colour. The show can be seen from June 18th to July 1st.

“The latest work marks the culmination of a long process. One in which the many years of previous work can be seen as a long but coherent search, a process leading forward to a mature mastery of a complex and deeply felt technique, which develops my long-standing fascination with painting as a model of endlessness.”

-Jeanne Masoero

The ever peripatetic Sarah Tucker talks travel: you booked the flights, accomodation and rental car; but when your flight leaves at 5 am, what do you do with your car? Do you despair of a holiday where you only scratch the surface, never really seeing how the natives live? Sarah has a good nose round someone else's house in her Private Malta holiday and benefits from the unique history and stories of the island.

A new service offered by tour operator beyond3sixty is launching a Private Malta tour, inviting up to ten people around homes on the island. Malta has a lot more to it than meets the eye. Sold to mass market audiences as a cheap sun option, only three hours away, one of the more densely populated place on the planet (although you wouldn't know it when visiting), its also allegedly built above Atlantis and has a history of knights and battles, modern and old, which pales our own in comparison.

Housefrau - Jill Alexander Essbaum: Poet turned novelist Jill Alexander Essbaum likens writing poetry to swimming in a paddling pond but writing a novel moves you to the ocean. She talks about her novel Hausfrau and some of the similarities between herself and her heroine Anna living in a small town in Switzerland who embarks on a series of disterous affairs. It is a moving exploration of what can happens when we are lost and isolated.
