We haven't shared on here in quite some time, but we have a piece in store that's really worth breaking the silence over: a beautiful clock made of carved and gilded wood by Pedro Friedeberg.

Pedro Friedeberg (born January 11, 1936) is a Mexican artist and designer known for his eccentric, surrealist work filled with lines, colors and ancient and religious symbols. His best known piece is the “Hand-Chair” - a sculpture/chair designed for people to sit on the palm, using the fingers as back and arm rests.

Eddy Mumma was born in Milton, Ohio. Upon his wife’s death in 1956 he moved to Gainesville, Florida, to be near his daughter.
Mumma was a double amputee from diabetes who rarely left his home. And yet today, more than three decades after his death, Mumma’s artwork can be found at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the American Folk Art Museum and many other prestigious museums and galleries across the U.S.
Mr. Eddy didn’t start painting until he was 60 at the suggestion of his daughter to take a painting class to fill his hours. He agreed but was so insulted by the teacher telling him his work was ‘too sloppy’ that he left on the first day and never returned. He did, however, take home the paints and developed his own style. From there on he went from being an enigma to becoming a highly celebrated self-taught artist.
His family considered him eccentric and had no use for his paintings. As they were cleaning out his house upon his death, art professor Joel Feldstein was driving by and arranged to purchase the remaining artwork. Joel restored as many pieces as he could and is credited for saving Eddy’s work.
