Ersy











We recently visited New Orleans for Mardi Gras, what a great city! Loads of music, art and great food. We visited the Ogden Museum which was fantastic. Great mix of Southern art from established to outsider artists.

One of my favourite exhibits was Ersy's. At the time I didn't take many photos as I thought there was probably plenty of images online, now I really wish I took photos of EVERYTHING as there's not a huge amount online at all! Here are two that I took, plus some I found on the web. I love how she plays with scale to create these distorted (often macabre), immersive realities, it's a very surreal experience wandering around her work.

Photos that aren't my own are from Unstitched Blog, nola.com, and Arthur Roger Gallery.
