We serendipitously came across a collection of small clay pins by the late artist Marvin Jones, featuring fragments of figures and recurring motifs from his body of work. Paired with our recycled fused glass, these miniature works boast a vibrant and playful composition. Our second artist edition case offers an opportunity to collect and carry a small piece of Jones's artistic legacy. Acquired from the collection of Archive Interiors.

Artist Quote
…”Both Western and non-Western art, except at the most trivial level, is about the experience of being human and is an attempt to control and understand the environment in which we live….The Ocumicho figures are usually seen as humorous. It is always good to remind ourselves that the basis for comedy is tragedy and that the thing that is most unhappy is often the best occasion for a smile. “*
