Spring show at the CAC&D, continued...
We were actually very impressed with last year's show at the CAC&D, and we were looking forward to an equally uplifting experience this year. Unfortunately, we were a bit disappointed. We think last year's bunch were a little sharper than this year's. But never mind, we're here to focus on the stuff we liked, and not to write a review of the whole thing. So here goes installment 2:
Instant heraldry.
I think this is rather an interesting idea. It's computer software complete with custom imagery to allow the user to create his or her own instant heraldry. Symbols are both traditional and new, and the combinations seem virtually endless.
Bones.
The ceramics class had a couple of interesting objects. One is the bones above. These are iconic cartoon style ceramic bones just waiting to be placed on someone's coffee table. I don't think anyone could resist picking one up. For sure I couldn't.
Little men by Ylva Franzén.
Ylva Franzén had created a number of thought provoking sculptures based on these little ceramic men. The little men populate different scenes, worlds, in comic or tragic situations. Mail to Ylva Franzén.
..
Mixing perceptions.
What if the visual expressions in hand tools and kitchen appliances were to be mixed up or switched around? How would we then look at our appliances and tools. Here's a power drill dressed in kitchen clothes and a kitchen mixer in power tool guise. I rather liked the power drill in kitchen dress. But perhaps that's just me.

Chop, chop.
These colorful chopsticks designed with clothespin tech, are sold at CB2, the hipper and cheaper little sister of American Crate & Barrel. The sticks are plastic with stainless steel springs (thank you) and are supposed to survive the dishwasher. Our only objection to this idea is that maybe it would be better if the the spring would be working the other way, so that the sticks tended to close rather than open. Will drain USD 3:95 (ca SEK 30:-) from your wallet a piece.
