Sur-Real Time… Dali-Inspired Clocks
The art historian in me cringed when I saw these Salvador Dali-inspired melting clocks described as “Art Nouveau”… (Yes. Someone did this. You can check for yourself if you don’t believe me.) Yet woefully attributed to the wrong genre or not, they are still … Continue reading

Knock ‘Em Dead! Casadelgatto Door Knockers
“Casa del Gatto” is a project of the Pennsylvania-based artist Derek Bernstein, who one summer decided to sculpt portraits of his cats, and then turned those into weirdly wonderful door knockers. Bizarre, beautiful, maybe just a tiny bit morbid… If I had the money … Continue reading

A Sinking Feeling… Hannes Van Severen’s Furniture Art
Hannes Van Severen is a visual artist who lives and works in Ghent, Belgium. (Makes me proud to be a Belgian!) His work is unsettling yet appealing, based on daily life objects yet paradoxically useless. My favorite pieces are his furniture-based works; … Continue reading

A Little Light-Headed… Pill Lamps
This week has been hard on me, and next week (when classes start again) it’ll be even worse. My sanity is currently hanging by a thin, medication-induced thread… As I usually feature items that appeal to my state of mind, I thought … Continue reading

Memento Mori Monday: Coral Cutlery
It’s monday again! This week’s Memento Mori is practical in many ways, but mostly it shows us a practical way of “thinking on death” that I hadn’t touched upon before. Back in the days (we’re talking 15th, 16th century here) … Continue reading
