\"\" Paco Rabanne AW17 campaign<\/p>\n

Instagram is an infinite playground for anyone with imagination, wifi connection and the patience to plumb the depths of the digital world to unearth its many hidden gems. While for those of us scrolling in search of escapism, there’s nothing like the discovery of a new, well-curated feed into which to fall.\u00a0<\/span>Enter @ __s____o<\/a>, which has piqued our ocular interest with its mix of surreal artworks,\u00a0pastel-hued landscapes and beguiling fashion imagery, punctuated by undulating\u00a0architecture and luscious interiors.<\/span>
\nBehind the account is Melbourne-based stylist Cat Morrison, who tells Sleek of its inception, \u201cI just wanted to create a visual narrative from the things that inspire me; something that reflected me.\u201d\u00a0She attributes her acute visual vernacular to her daily immersion in aesthetic culture. \u201cI curate for others and create content. I do a lot of art direction or what some people call \u2018visualisation,\u2019 which is essentially marketing to help brands form an identity online… I also do a lot of styling, of all types.”<\/span>
\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BhBU4-Ug9tU\/?taken-by=__s____o
\nCurator is a term bandied about with wild abandon in the media and nowhere is it more prevalent than in internet vocabulary, yet the role is something Morrison relishes. “I’m not an artist,” she explains. “I’m not talented at making things or using tools but visuals, or \u2018aesthetics\u2019, have always been a language I understood.\u201d\u00a0 One of Morrison\u2019s biggest strengths in this respect is her <\/span>appetence for matching up disparate imagery to form a spellbinding dreamscape that is uniquely her own. <\/span>
\nThe surrealist overtones of her output is something she has only just become aware of. \u201cIt’s really hard for me to look at @__s____o and actually identify what themes or genres are there. But I did recently think that it’s become \u2014 or probably always has been \u2014 my way of elevating reality, of creating a visual escape.”\u00a0<\/span>So does Morrison have plans to take her curatorial skills offline and out into the real world?\u00a0 \u201cI would love to curate physical art someday. I really would,\u201d she enthuses.\u00a0 Which is something we \u2014 and the rest of her 95K following \u2014 could easily get behind.<\/span>
