love it. very 60s midcentury modern with an edgy twist. if i had a room in my fantasy house devoted to recreating the set of Mad Men, this would definitely be a centerpiece!
I found a little unglazed ceramic head in a corner of my first apartment. I've kept it for almost 30 years because I found it charming and I think the previous owner considered it a guardian of some sort.
But bald, severed antique doll heads? Creepy indeed.
That is one fabulous piece and I love way the craftsman has accented the grain of the wood with the alternating to provide that sense of undulating waves. Rest and motion embodied and at peace. Fabulous.
Form/Function. Line/Curve. Safe/Risk. Art/Craft. Body/Mind.
Fashion intersects these. It's how we express what is popular in what is personal. It's where intellect debates sex; where soft and hard duke it out. So much mystery underpins beautiful things. So much confidence rests upon them. Discuss.
Whew, now THAT is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I kind of like the idea of creepy heads.

ReplyDeleteCreep is in. Just arrived home from Basel Miami, where bodily fluids, dismembered heads, body parts held court.
ReplyDeleteWith your interests, you must be an art fair lover?
That's weird, but glad the issue is resolved.
ReplyDeleteGlad you want to be an artist because I'm one of those people who prefers to enjoy it.
Baby steps for me. I'm getting used to crafting!
That cabinet needs to be in a gorgeous house in Big Sur( or in your gorgeous house). Love the element of it having waves of movement in its stillness.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very nice cabinet.
