Wish Fullfilment
The linocuts of Australian artist Stan Squire are inextricably rooted to his native New South Wales—both in content and production. When the fickle surf in his zone goes flat, he retreats to his studio and hunkers down to work, creating Arcadias of perfect surf that are half fantasy and half memory. And when the conditions shift, he heads back out to restock the mental banks. “It’s inconsistent down here,” he says, “so you’re constantly dreaming about perfect setups. Whereas if you grew up in Bali, there’d be no need.”

Racking Focus
From the pocket coves of Laguna Beach to the Forgotten Island of Santosha, Spyder Wills has injected his arcane reference points and technical virtuosity with twisted intensity. Lending world-standard camera work to films and television productions (<em Santosha</em> , <em Stylemasters</em> , “Wide World of Sports”) Wills was known for both his ability to get the job done and his wicked sense of humor. Writer Kevin O’Sullivan burrowed into Spyder’s lair for this feature, supported by the superb portraiture of Art Brewer.
