Caterina Rossato

Caterina Rossato combines vintage postcard landscapes into something new by cutting out and placing them on wood blocks for dimension. The resulting sculptures feel fresh and modern, all while retaining the dignity of the original imagery.

Studio Twocan

Studio Twocan is a creative studio managed by sisters Maddie and Becc Sharrock. Each piece the duo creates is individually crafted, showing off their dedication and commitment to quality of design and manufacture. The cement is colored using pigment inspired by Australian landscapes, then each piece is polished with natural oils, sealing the cement with a satin finish. This process celebrates imperfections and ensures that each piece is unique. Check out their shop to make a piece your own.

Hella Jongerius

I have so much respect for artists who straddle the traditional and contemporary worlds, and Hella Jongerius has been super successful at it. She seamlessly fuses industry and craft while tossing in a cheeky nod to whimsy, like in this collaboration with Nymphenburg.

Valentin Dommanget

Just what happens when real world and virtual influences collide? In the hands of 25-year-old Valentin Dommanget it’s a series of marbled canvases that get stretched and torqued to mimic what look like Photoshop effects. (I’ll take ten.)

Marianne Nielson

You know of my penchant for hair art, so I’m clearly loving Marianne Nielson‘s glazed stoneware take on it. Hairstyle equals personality, and Nielson captures just how fun and ridiculous those universal choices can sometimes be in her Hair 2008 and Hair 2009 series.

ReCheng Tsang

ReCheng Tsang creates these incredible site-specific installations and sculptures from hundreds (sometimes thousands) of thin porcelain pieces. Each piece is manipulated any number of ways by hand before being added to the predetermined gridded structure. Some works appear to be in motion while others seem so delicate they might crumble at any moment.

Makoto Azuma

As I type this I have flowers in four different rooms of my home, and it’s not even spring! A few years ago I started to notice how much better my mood was with a few blooms around, so I began making a point to pick some up every week or two. Who knew that they’d look just as good encased in ice as in a vase? Makoto Azuma‘s latest botanical adventure – Ice Flowers – exhibits the life cycles of flowers, from vibrancy to decay as each ice block melts away.
