FF2 Media is proud to post this gorgeously illustrated feature on Bisa Butler by Karen Gershowitz.

"Walking into the exhibition, I was first taken by the size of her work. @bisabutler's group portraits are enormous, and – as exhibited and lit by the Katonah Museum team – they were breathtaking. At first glance, they appeared to be paintings or perhaps stained glass, but no, they were all quilts." - @karengershowitz

Happy US release anniversary to Vita & Virginia! W

Happy US release anniversary to Vita & Virginia! We are still in awe of Isobel Waller-Bridge's fantastic soundtrack, even five years later.

"At times, the music uses short, staccato notes, which emphasizes curiosity, but generally speaking, the majority of the film’s music is trippy—maybe a reflection of the hazy state of mind of the characters." - Sophia Jin

Revisit @isobelwb 's work today!
