POETRY IN MOTION

Thanks to SisterWolf, I just learned about Israeli born artist Sruli Recht. Sruli works out of his remotely located, (an abandoned fishery in the meat-packing district) drool-worthy, studio in a Reykjavik, Iceland. This youngster (born in '79) is motivated by obscure materials (horse hide, stillborn lamb skins, ram's blood for dying to name a few) and creating items you never knew you needed. . . but now can't live without. ie: A black diamond tipped pen for writing/etching on glass surfaces.

His item descriptions are one of my favorite aspects of his work.

For example:

Grey Nurse

type: boot
composition: all cow leather
heel: 2" raw leather cuban
colour ways: kelp green
gender: homme

ocean filtered light flickering over my eyes, steps that cut, and a very distant headache. low button up leaden boots, one piece of leather pleated into shape and soft leaning heel. just one tired sleek shark swimming through tomorrow

Preferred Use: Espionage and straight out traditional Mexican stand off
nothing more to say.

Who wouldn't want a pair of these after reading that?

Also, i respect a person who seems to be equally into the quality of their product's presentation. Those stacked cardboard ring and pen holders are works of art in themselves.
