I have this strange feeling that I’m not myself anymore. It’s hard to put into words, but I guess it’s like I was fast asleep, and someone came, disassembled me, and hurriedly put me back together again. That sort of feeling.
Things are sweeter when they’re lost. I know—because once I wanted something and got it. It was the only thing I ever wanted badly…and when I got it it turned to dust in my hand.
So i was hanging out with this girl I liked one time. And as we were laying in her bed just about to kiss for the very first time she just gets up and runs to her closet. So I’m just sitting there waiting and she grabs a stethoscope. And she comes back to the bed and places the stethoscope on her heart and gives me the ear pieces. And she goes I want you to hear how fast my heart beats when you kiss me. And it was seriously the most beautiful thing. Moral of the story…everybody buy a stethoscope.
Seattle-based artistKatie Markshas acquired a passionate admiration for all aesthete in the world with her collection of otherworldly ceramics. Marks has transformed the ordinary used and function of a coffee mug into a sculptural piece of art, fit for display. Inspired by the iridescent colors and jagged edges of the most beautiful minerals in the world, Marks’ pieces almost make us feel far too unfit to raise her designs to our lips. Each design is far too pristine to use.
Her dazzling creations are striking, elegant, yet rustic. Armed with her pottery skills and imagination, Marks successfully withdraws inspiration from the galaxies and earth’s finest rocks. The meeting between a contemporary and futuristic aesthetic blend beautifully with the cozy and vintage feel of a mug.
