Beauty in the process means beauty in our pieces. While a heavy amount of engineering is involved in our cast-not-set approach, each piece looks effortless and perfectly imperfect. Stone color, stone placement, and tactility range from object to object—intentionally so. We all deserve to cherish something truly one-of-a-kind.
We Are Made of Diamond Stuff by Isabel Waidner
Description:
A 36 year old that looks like Eleven from Stranger Things works in a run-down hotel on an Isle of Wight battered by austerity. Polar bears emerge from t-shirts. Reebok Classics come to life. Blending fiction and critical writing and anarchic joy, this is a rakish, boundary-erasing work that collides literary aesthetics with working class cultures and attitudes. Interrogating autobiographical material, it extends the avant-garde tradition to make it an ally for queer migrant experience, questions dreams of national belonging, while celebrating the radical potential of resistance, ingenuity, and friendship.
