You’ll never look at felt the same way again after seeing Paolo del Toro‘s sculptural masks. My favorite, Baba of the Woods, is a collaboration with photographer Tifani Truelove that takes on an otherworldly feel thanks to the woodsy backdrop and red-eyed creature.
The first thing I noticed about Haand‘s pottery pieces is that several can be used in multiple ways – kitchen, bedroom dresser, dining table, and more. Each piece is designed by Mark Warren and crafted by hand in Eli Whitney, North Carolina at the Haand workshop by a small team of dedicated makers. The care and attention paid to each “farmhouse futuristic” piece is abundantly clear.
London-based Jessica Dance is a textile artist and model maker specializing in tactile handcrafted models and props. So, super creative basically. Her knit foods and objects are full of amazing color and texture and I want nothing more than to slip those Nikes on!

Vancouver-based Mark Ollinger truly has hidden a number of street sculptures around the world as a response to street painting (aka graffiti, which he also creates). He plays with words, their meanings, and their physical appearance, breaking each one down into a metaphorical and thought out piece of art that depends on your mind to decipher it.

I have a huge crush on neon artist Kate Hush. (That name!) During the day she fabricates neon lighting for others, but when the sun goes down she creates her own art – crazy women doing bad things inspired by men’s rights activists and their ideas of females. Conniving, manipulative forms sporting fake tears and ultra high heels showcase their wicked ways, leading you down the wrong path that might just feel right.

Courtney Mattison creates amazing large-scale sculptural installations, the most impressive of which is a series of three called Our Changing Seas. The first is based on interviews conducted with marine researchers, artists, and marine environmental professionals, the second depicts a 360º transition of a healthy coral reef to a bleached one and back again, and the third explores the rapid transition corals in the tropics and subtropics are making as a result of climate change.
