IMPOSSIBLE STREET ART - an intricately conceived new project by JOSEPH FORD, created in collaboration with renowned street artists to showcase the work they would create if there were NO LIMITS...
Joseph collaborates with Peeta - super talented Venice-based graffiti artist, muralist, oil painter and sculptor whose 3-dimensional style bends surface, buildings and minds…
Mexican textile, installation and street artist Victoria Villasana - whose work adorns gallery and city walls everywhere from London & LA to Mexico City & Guadalajara - collaborated with Joseph on a stunning textile X photography creation. “The use of embroidery is her nod to female empowerment. “Working with fabric makes me feel connected with an inner rebellious femininity. Embroidery is undervalued as just a ‘woman’s craft’ – but it’s something that reminds us of all those amazing women in our lives that nurture us.”

CHRIS FLOYD recently spent several days shooting at the wildly beautiful ZAPATA RANCH near Alamosa, Colorado. A glorious world of “cowgirls, cowboys, horses, cattle, trucks, denim, stetsons, leather goods, steaks, mountain ranges and bison”.
There he met with Kate Matheson, who he used to work with in the early 2000s when she was a picture editor at Conde Nast magazines in London. About 15 years ago she gave it all up, and in her own words, “arrived at the ranch with a suitcase of clothes and a Le Creuset pot, I got my best friend Pepe and my dream truck not long after. I’ll be leaving with a husband, 7 horses, 3 dogs, two babies and a chicken if we can catch her and at least 2 novels worth of stories.”
Next month she is leaving Colorado to move to Montana with her family, where they are taking over the running of her husband’s family’s ranch. Kate is pictured in the last 3 images and you can hear her story on the Ranchlands podcast here.
Fabulous photos Chris! Such a beautiful insight into ranch life in the American midwest.

Flock are delighted to introduce a new project by JOSEPH FORD created in collaboration with a global roster of renowned street artists.
IMPOSSIBLE STREET ART is an ongoing project showcasing “the work street artists would create if there were no limits”... in terms of scale, accessibility, safety, regulations etc, throwing open a world of potential to create work on landscape-scale vistas and inaccessible or protected sites of architectural heritage - ranging from England's Seven Sisters chalk cliffs to the Pantheon in Paris and the centre strip of a Los Angeles freeway.
Over the coming weeks we will be featuring the first 8 artworks, starting here with an image created in collaboration with Belgian typographer / 'urban artist' DENIS MEYERS, whose previous work ranges from live painting performances, skateboard and beer glass designs to painting an astonishing 25,000 m² of an abandoned building which was scheduled for demolition…
Please scroll down for a peek behind the scenes on location at the National Theatre (a grade 2 listed building designed by Brutalist architect Denys Lasdun in 1963) on London’s South Bank - plus an insight into the amazing creation process!
Please watch this space for more of Joseph’s collaborative artworks coming soon ⚡️
