Kohli's work is inspired by the generative forces of nature-its cycles of growth, dissolution, and renewal. Central to the artist's visual language is Shakti, the transformative power of the divine feminine. Kohli uses the womb as a potent symbol of creation and possibility, exploring transformation within the eternal cycles of birth and death.

Of course I want you watching CNN and I want you listening to me on SiriusXM, but, my God, use the clicker. I don't go to bed without sampling all of the news and opinion that's all around me because it's so easy to get bunkered into, you know, a silo of your choosing and think you're getting competing opinions when, in fact, you're not.

After quite impulsively tackling a frame-by-frame sequence of an animated figure merging into a mountainscape using paint on paper a few years ago, the artist started her journey into analogue animation and it's "a rabbit hole I never want to leave", she says. "This sense of continuous, boundaryless flow underpins both my life and my work. In animation, I have found the most compelling way to interpret the world being in constant motion."

She was producing these really precise, technical illustrations which were used in medical textbooks, says David Crowley, curator of a new retrospective of Schubert's work at Muzeum Susch, in eastern Switzerland. She was right in the middle of that practice She was totally unfazed about being in dissections. Her anatomical drawings, notes Marika Kuzmicz, the museum's curator, are still published in handbooks for medical students in Croatia today.

John Nixon, the late Australian avant-garde artist, would sometimes save the shells from his boiled eggs and sprinkle them across blank paint, creating his own starry night. Other times he'd set himself rules, such as painting only in orange for five years. It was 1996 and he was becoming a father, so he wanted a streamlined practice plus, what other artist was associated with orange?

My patchwork veils are wired tapestries of images and texture...I want it to feel complex but simple at the same time. I want the details and the objects to carry memory and trigger viewers into thinking about their associations with certain patterns and textures.

"Kennedy Yanko's work is a poetic dance between large chunks of old crushed metal that she rescues from scrapyards, combined with 'paint skins' - a material she creates by applying thick layers of paint to her floor and peeling them to become malleable 'paintings' without a canvas."
