In the work of Kaori Kurihara, ceramics operate between intuition and control.

***

Although she doesn’t rely on geometric tracing tools, the finished forms still hold a clear internal structure: an order that is born through making rather than through planning.

***

The pieces reference botanical forms without fully imitating them, grounded in the real but shifted just enough to resist easy identification.

Sonia Navarro transforms textile-based craft into spatial systems of memory and meaning.

***

Processes like sewing, weaving, and braiding, often associated with domestic work, are reconfigured in her practice into forms that feel architectural, conceptual, and personally charged.

***

Using materials such as esparto grass, leather, felt, and embroidery, she draws on substances shaped by tradition and manual labor. Her works exist between sculpture and textile, constructing environments where craft history, gender, and cultural memory intersect on equal terms.

Kaori Kurihara constructs a secluded ceramic world of her own: an ecosystem in clay where fruits, petals, and coral-like structures appear recognizable, before gradually shifting into a more dreamlike, imagined terrain.

***

Moving back and forth between structured repetition and uncanny variation, reflecting how nature resists perfect replication, each surface carries the sense of having grown organically rather than being shaped by hand alone.

Inside Kinki Texas's workshop, history painting collides with graffiti, punk residue, war mythology, and cartoon logic. Heroes become grotesque, monsters become charismatic, and every image looks caught between spectacle and collapse.

***

There’s humour in the work, but it’s the kind that appears after the impact: sharp, uncomfortable, almost feral, with a choreographed disorder within.

***

Layers are built up only to be erased, destabilized, pushed into excess, then pulled back at the last possible second. The paintings feel overheated, emotionally overlocked, and impossibly precise in their imbalance.

BOAT RING

***

A ring is already a form of return: a closed line that carries movement within itself.

***

The Boat Ring makes that idea tangible: a small rotating vessel suspended between departure and arrival, between grounding and drift.

***

Created for The Jewelry Icon by Maurizio Fusari: one of the leading voices in contemporary Italian goldsmithing.

Maurizio began his practice in his father’s workshop before working alongside Giò Pomodoro, producing jewelry, micro-sculptures, and prototypes for the renowned master. In his creative process, he moves between sculpture and ornament, treating precious materials as living surfaces charged with memory, energy, and symbolic weight.

***

Statement gold rings with a spinning malachite centrepiece.

***

Soon to be available in our Shop.

Kinki Texas paints as if trying to outrun his own subconscious. His figures arrive armed, mutated, theatrical, between medieval mercenaries, comic-book antiheroes, and hallucinations born after too many sleepless nights.

***

The surfaces are attacked as much as composed: sprayed over, scratched back, smeared, rewritten, unstable.

***

The chaos is carefully calibrated until it reaches a breaking point without collapsing entirely, making his paintings feel like psychological weather systems: dense, volatile, and strangely seductive.

In Kaori Kurihara’s hands, ceramics become a study of instinct and precision.

***

She shapes clay without geometric tracing tools; however, her sculptures carry an almost mathematical rhythm.

***

The works feel suspended between botanical observation and memory: detailed enough to seem real, strange enough to feel untouchable.

Lavinia Harrington approaches paper as a living being: folded, layered, stained, erased, rebuilt.

***

Her works carry traces of hesitation and instinct, where pigment, clay, and gesture settle into subconscious compositions.

***

Colour behaves almost like memory: tactile, unstable, impossible to fully translate into words.

***

There’s a physical tension in her work: fragile paper holding the weight of clay, soft pastel meeting sharp folds and erasures. The process moves through accumulation, building surfaces that read like emotional cartographies.

***

Neither from nor towards
Soft pastel, DAS air dry clay and Golden Soft Gel on Japanese paper
980 x 654 mm (38 5/8 x 25 3/4 in)

Kaori Kurihara builds a private ecosystem in clay: one where fruits, petals, and coral-like forms seem familiar at first glance, then slowly drift into the imaginary space.

***

Her work balances geometric repetition with subtle irregularities, echoing the way nature never truly duplicates itself, and each surface feels grown rather than sculpted.

BOAT RING

***

At night, it feels less like jewelry and more like a vessel for the subconscious, carrying the mind beyond fixed edges and familiar ground. In that suspended space between sleep and waking, it drifts toward places that resist language, where distance, memory, and imagination begin to merge.

***

Maurizio Fusari for The Jewelry Icon.

***

Gold rings featuring a rotating centerpiece, in gold, diamonds, and palisander wood.

***

Coming soon to our Shop.
