velvet oracle
profiletaken from real
Hiki Reedy makes art in every medium. Her real subject is who gets to change a thing and call it their own.
independent print & digital
an independent magazine about music, photography, and skate culture
I cover the originators. The people who built a scene, cut a record, or shot a photograph first, and usually watched someone else collect the credit. Print issues, digital features, and film photography, made in Sydney.
visual feed
New photography going up regularly. Mostly film.
the latest issue
Issue 02 runs 137 pages. It opens on Ed Templeton and the long practice of making work for decades, and it moves through computational photography, the rap scenes of Houston, the Bay, and New Orleans, ageing skaters, and the coastline of Aotearoa. It closes, like every issue, with Radiohead.
what this is
Not a lifestyle blog. Not a brand's content in disguise.Velvet Oracle is editorial in the old sense: reported features, real interviews, and photography that earns the page. It runs on one bias, toward the people who did the thing first.
Print issues, digital features, photo exhibits, and a community board all live here.
