I came across the work of Stylist/Artist Gracie Wales Bonner recently. Highly recommended if, like me, you have a soft spot for collage/cords/colour.

CURATE vs. EDIT
... Plants on shelves or a curated group of botanical objects?
It is interesting how the word 'curate' has escaped the confines of the museum/gallery world into blogs, shops and beyond.

In my mind the word 'curate' bestows a certain gravitas; something that has been 'curated' should be distinguishable from a collection, selection or visual list. In order for objects to be truly curated there should be something that links them, independent of the self-styled curator's personal taste. What is the difference between a curate and an edit? According to this article (2009) the debate is already a moot point and I should get with the times.
