Shank Shack - 30 Shanks in 30 Days

Ryan Nance November 28, 2017

From the project page:

"Sharp, knifelike utensils have been made by humans for the last 2.6 million years. All cultures make use of a form of a knife and there are hundreds of types made from metal, plastic, stone, ceramic, glass and wood. For the launch of the web store, Chen Chen and Kai Williams present Shank Shack, 30 shanks in 30 days. These sharp utensils were made as an exercise in experimentation of connections and manipulation of proportions and materials. All pieces in the series achieve one goal and show the myriad of methods one could improvise to achieve that goal. All pieces are unique works and are signed and numbered."

Discarded Stuff becomes Stunning Sculptures

Ryan Nance April 5, 2013

​Plastic stuff is seen as entirely disposable, barely worth anything, and certain not deserving of our attention or respect. Unless of course you listen to the Shinto thought that ALL objects have a spirit. Artist Sayaka Ganz seems to exhibit this thought in these provocative and beautiful sculptures made of discarded plastic.
