💥 LONDON / UK ONLY: (final) Exhibition Display Discounted Prints SALE 💥

Hey there dear ones, hope you're well :)

I wanted to reach out to tell you that I'm doing a final sale of some 80 prints I've got in my London studio with discounts of up to 85% (!!!)

All these prints are for London pick-up only - as they're already framed or mounted (on foamex boards) - which makes shipping too expensive.

Note: these are all prints I've exhibited through-out the years in London and Europe and it's time for a clear-out at ridiculous prices!!!

Finally sharing this long-awaited session with bendy female circus artist Emily England.

In this session, I've started experimenting with different new ways of photo editing. I'll be sharing this session in 3 parts. The first one is pretty straight forward...expect things to get a little wacky from part 2 👽

Shibari Sari for 'Human Nature' - NSFW - 12 images - Germany, Sep 2020

I hope you missed me because I missed you. I spent the last few months reconnecting with nature. My own nature and nature's nature.

In fact, when you think about it, we are not separate from nature. 

There is no 'us' and 'nature'.

We are a part of nature. We are nature.

So much so, that the Nayaka hunter-gatherers in South India never had a word for 'nature'.

Something to think about 🌿

Saskia for 'Human Nature' - NSFW - 23 images - Germany, Sep 2020 + NEWS

Hi ALL!

It's been a while.

I've been travelling a little in Germany and London. Currently in Finland.

I was seeing friends I haven't seen for almost a year. It's been tough and these trips have been beautiful beyond words can describe. I tried to stay off my screens as much as possible. In fact, it was as if it was my only option. The thought of editing my work, or as it played out in my head; "sit in front of a screen by myself" gave me a horrible feeling.

Instead, I ...

Apologies for the radio silence, I've been quietly bouncing between Berlin and London...well, quietly in terms of not updating my Patreon much... but I did shoot more than 10 new sessions with more than 10k photos... I just tried to focus on seeing many of my friends after not seeing any of them since Nov last year when I went to spend the winter in Israel. It's been incredible to see everyone. Very energising and heart warming.

I asked 30 protesters in Israel: “Why are you here?” and “What do you wish for?” - here’s what they said (photos):

The ground is burning here in Israel and I've been somewhat distracted. From Covid to BLM to 30k+ people protesting outside the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu calling him to resign after failed Covid management, lack of financial support to the citizens AND being on a trial with 3 indictments; fraud, breach of trust, and accepting bribes...

INTENSE MONTH - Working on new things to share with you in coming days! 💖

It's been an intense month and I haven't shared much here. I've been working on spreading seeds here in Israel, slowly planning new collaborations and projects, as well as doing a lot of maintenance in the background on my portfolio, website...editing but also preparing new works to share with you here.

Oh yea, and there was this virus thing and US protests that made it a little hard to think 'art'. Such challenging transformative times. I believe we're in the right way!
