No one compliments a photograph on the precision of it’s corners or the parallelness of its sides, much in the same way that no one compliments humans on the general rigidity of their hidden structures and biases. Yet it remains true that the borders of a photograph, like the prejudices of consciousness, are so defining, so rigid, so focus-making that both a “photograph” and a “human” would literally be nothing without them. No parameter ︎ no thing.
In the photographs of Jamie Hladky there seems to be an inherent understanding and use of this hidden parametric. The typically clear, guiding subject is absent; the viewer is not escorted to a center and meaning; this puts uncanny emphasis on the usually hidden outline. This frame seems to momentarily rest on a situation rather than defining one — this is lovely and sort of like magic.
about
Alysha Dawn is a freelance illustrator based in Toronto, Ontario where she shares a studio with a calico cat named Fran. She originally studied Graphic Design and then moved on to receive her BAA in Illustration. Her work has been featured in the American Illustration Archive.
Everything Alysha creates has a unique personality. Though she enjoys simplicity, Alysha is also passionate about detail in her work, ensuring that the viewer can discover something new with every glance. She has a passion for bold shapes, bright colours, and zooming in on very busy environments to find the humour or seriousness within a scene.
What you can expect when working with her: A new project begins with a thoughtful brainstorming, sketches, and research as she establishes a concept for the product or illustration. Her designs are then ready to be fleshed out in a medium that best suits the brief (including Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Procreate, and other traditional methods). You can be assured that all projects will be completed within the timeline.
She currently spends a lot of her time in her studio working on new projects, cooking, vintage perusing, crafting, and finding weird pebbles on long walks. She would love to work with you next. Email her with any inquiries you have or just say hi!
Previous Clients: Adidas, Uniqlo, Bissell, Princeton University, Rogers Centre, Target, Indigo, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Metrolinx, Shoppers Drugmart, Winners, Marshalls, Walmart, Thermos, Winkreative, and many more.
