Happy artsy Halloween to all who celebrate. We love any excuse to add a little memento mori to your feed in the form of this sweet sleeping youth who is laying his head on a skull - reminding us all of the inevitably of death 💀
On a lighter note, swipe through to see our tongue-in-cheek response to the current internet trend, with some very specific costume ideas - because we love a trend just as much as we love a memento mori.

This is the last weekend to see Picture Space, where the artists on view each play with surface textures and the materials of their photographs. In their own ways, they expand two-dimensional picture space into three dimensions, and call attention to framing—be it of the camera, the scanner, the computer screen, or the walls of a room. The artists highlight how the act of making a photograph transforms what we see, and thus what we experience.
Sunday, November 1 is the last day to see the exhibition.
