EDITION #8 Contrasting Landscapes A note from the editors...
Sarah Nolan and Jeremy Thomas In many ways this issue of Frame Lines, Contrasting Landscapes, epitomises exactly what Frame Lines is all about. It’s about celebrating the differences in us all, whether you might live in an urban or rural area, a rich country or a poor one. It’s about recognising the diversity of the world in which we live. We’ve attempted to capture, as best we could, art and culture across a wide range of subjects and mediums, and although some of the ideas we had didn’t come to fruition, many other creative pieces and eye-opening art have stepped forward to fill the gap. And more than anything, this edition has become about telling a story, about you or about others, and the differing environments in which these stories take place. Our deadlines for this issue have been tight, and we have received a record number of submissions. Creatively, this edition our staff have gone out in search of stories to fully explore this idea of Contrasting Landscapes. In the last few months, we have welcomed new staff, whose faces and articles you will see on a regular basis. These are Simon, our resident writer, actor and film guy, and Teri our creative sub-editor and newsletter wiz. Both of them have contributed in a big way to this edition, and we cannot thank them enough! And if you feel you have the passion and are interested in collaborating with Frame Lines as a creative entity or as a business, pitch us your idea on how together we could push the boundaries even further. Visually, this edition is one of the most striking thus far, as you are sure to discover as you flick through the pages. Photographs from all over the world, high-tech design and material that might change the way you view art are all on for show here, in a package that we here at Frame Lines are immensely proud of. We hope you enjoy this, another foray into the contrasting world that is Frame Lines, and from the bottom of our hearts we’d like to thank you for supporting us along the way.
