Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The idea that visual art is only what can be spread flat across a canvas is one that has long since been abandoned. With sculpture and large-scale installations, the 2D print has become not so much outdated, but rather had to give up its monopoly over the art world and make way for more innovative uses of space.

East End duo Static, comprised of young artists Tom and Craig, takes on this notion of the flat versus the three-dimensional to create works mixing screen printing and stenciling on layers of glass, Perspex and aluminium, and toying with light, reflection and transparency, resulting in 'floating' images.

Static is exhibiting its latest collection 'Whispers of Clarity' at Whisper in Fitzrovia, London until 26 May, which will involve the duo's signature layered works, as well as a variety of live art events. All images are available to purchase from Whisper.
