"Pylon Truck" by Patrick Fitzgerald, 2022
By Patrick Fitzgerald
Located in Chicago, IL
To Chicago-based artist Patrick Fitzgerald, his miniature car sculptures are a means of traveling through time. Born from a fascination with the soap box derby cars of his youth, each vehicle is an exercise in imagining the future through the lens of the past – or vice versa. Built from found materials collected over the years, the car's futuristic form is layered with personal memories and keepsakes from the past. The most minute of details is always intentional – from the weathered finish to the fictitious sponsor to the miniaturized furnishings of the cramped interior. This sculptural car entitled "Pylon Trunk" is intended as a complement to the rest of Fitzgerald's imaginative cars, something of a service vehicle loaded with removable traffic cones and street signs. A simple truck bed...

Felted Wool Body Pillow Tahoe Fabric by JG Switzer
Located in Sebastopol, CA
Milled by hand in JG Switzer's design workshop, and made of Shetland sheep wool listed on the Livestock Conservancy list as an "at risk" breed. Merino and local wool from within our own Fibershed (defined as a 100 mile radius of the workshop) also are used to make this pillow. Rich, natural undyed brown, grey and cream sheep fleece is "painted" on a canvas of wool. No two alike, as each item is hand-painted. These designer pillows...

"Senzo Titulo 'Michelangelo Antonioni'" by Patrick Fitzgerald, 2022
By Patrick Fitzgerald
Located in Chicago, IL
To Chicago-based artist Patrick Fitzgerald, his miniature car sculptures are a means of traveling through time. Born from a fascination with the soap box derby cars of his youth, each vehicle is an exercise in imagining the future through the lens of the past – or vice versa. Built from found materials collected over the years, the car's futuristic form is layered with personal memories and keepsakes from the past. The most minute of details is always intentional – from the weathered finish to the fictitious sponsor to the miniaturized furnishings of the cramped interior. This coloful vehicle entitled “Senzo Titulo” is a play upon the 1964 film "Il Deserto Rosso," or "Red Desert," by Italian filmmaker Michelangelo Antonioni...

It was popular with the Dada and Surrealist movements and with such great artists as Damien Hurst and Henry Moore. Here, artist Rick Farrell...
