Still wrapping my head around this one…Last year I met Lee Kwang-ho in Seoul, and never in a million years did I imagine that encounter would lead to seeing these oil paintings of my face come to life. Truly a surreal experience. Thank you 이광호 for your vision, generosity and talent ✨
In this month’s issue, art conservator Leah Blagopal uses the ubiquity of Jeff Koons Balloon Dogs to her advantage during a treatment by simulating the damage of the authentic sculpture on a £25 replica. She describes her process of material testing and selection to match the mirrored surface, resulting in an inconspicuous repair! Read Leah’s article on the substack link in our bio.

It’s hard to put into words how much climbing means to me and I’m so grateful for the women who’ve helped me remember why I love this sport so much. This now annual girls trip has brought together some of my favorite people from across two places I call home and <3
Climbing has made the world so much smaller and helped me feel not so distance from all my long distance friends 🥹
A huge thank you to @arcteryxuk for making this trip happen 💕
