JUXT0209

As we continue to celebrate our 25th anniversary, the Spring 2019 saw us looking over the pond to the "Felt Cave" to create a special cover with installation artist, painter and almost-performance artist, Lucy Sparrow. With her interactive and immersive life-sized installations, all made of felt, Sparrow has not only captivated audiences with the sheer mass and detail of what she produces for her exhibitions, but she has also created the "wow" factor and question of "what is this? What is it telling me? What is art? What is commerce?" After a photo session with Juxtapoz contributor, Ian Cox, Sparrow re-created her photo shoot as a massive Juxtapoz cover created out of felt, the final result you see on the cover of Spring 2019.
