Harry Allen Pig Bank by Josh Rubin
These 100% resin money-banks were cast from a demised piglet (we're assured it died of natural causes)! A large cork stopper under the belly should holds all the treasure in. Available in fuscia or white. The Pig Bank is part of Reality, the first series of Harry Allen Products that consists of objects whose form is 'sampled' from existing sources. Literal, ironic, intelligent and functional!

Joseph Conforti is a master of repetition. A raku ceramicist based in New York City, he creates hypnotic wall sculptures comprised of individual panels, each of which contains hundreds of ceramic pieces. Raku, for those unversed in ceramic speak, is a traditional form of Japanese pottery dating back to the 16th Century. It involves low temperature kiln firing, followed by a combustible immersion that...

Andreas' Reactive Sculpture Series includes the hulking 400-pound Seed Spreader (pictured), an intimidating machine equipped with three-foot spinning blades. It brilliantly expresses the fear associated with the industrialization of mass food production that, in the words of the artist, “conceptually speaks to...

While visiting The Future Perfect some weeks ago, I found a small gathering of the Priests huddled on a Jaime Hayon sofa and was compelled to learn their backstory. After seeing a Jungian analyst many years ago, Kristin started making dolls...
