Australian artist James Lake recently collaborated with photographer Harrison Thane for a brief series of works that blend Lake’s eccentric color palette and Thane’s portraits of underprivileged children.
Lake also teamed up with like-minded artist Leif Podajsky to create MELT, an online art platform exploring artists who make work that reaches beyond themselves.
