in the make

I came across this fantastic project the other day and wanted to share it with you! Photographer Klea McKenna and writer Nikki Grattan started In The Make in 2011.  They travel around and visit artist’s spaces and document their experience.

Their site and journey is a beautiful and enlightening experience. Check out more here!

We quickly made friends…
