Pharmakinetic by Ross Bleckner for Steuben

Designed by Ross Bleckner, Pharmakinetic is a limited edition of only 10 signed works, plus two artist proofs. 

Spotted whilst browsing the wonderful world of Steuben and with a price tag of $38,000, it is definitely in our "If money were no object" category, but we at CO9Cloud love that this piece, in Steuben's own word's, "was inspired by the three-dimensional properties of glass and its ability to warp and mutate light and how that process resembles the mind-altering effects that pharmacological substances have on the body".

Mandy Long - Ceramic and Glass Sculptures

We spotted these ceramic sculptures by Mandy Long sometime ago in the window of Castle Galleries, a great little gallery right in the centre of Leeds. The piece that caught our attention was called ‘inspiration’ and intrigued us enough to make us want to find out more.

Mandy’s work is gutsy and strong (works include a focus on footballers, rugby players and more recently dancers) without being over-bearing and we think they capture the human form in all its glory superbly - an incredible accomplishment considering Mandy didn’t turn her hand to her true passion of sculpture until she moved to Leeds in 2000 and enrolled in a 3-Dimensional Design course at Harrogate College.
