Our exclusive quotable cuff was designed especially for the O’Keeffe & Moore exhibition. From the beginning Henry Moore knew in his heart and soul that he wanted to be a sculptor. He eventually pioneered a new vision for modern sculpture, becoming a global star within his own lifetime. He was inspired by the human body and natural forms, and often made work on the subjects of the mother and child, the reclining figure and internal / external forms.

This cuff is made with recycled brass and is etched with his inspirational quote, “The soul cannot thrive in the absence of art”. Great as a gift for a friend, and for yourself. Wear it and be inspired!

Made from recycled brass, which is nickel and lead free, and naturally hypoallergenic.
Also available in silver plate
2 1/4 inches in diameter

A book-length essay about photography’s unique ability to ease the ache of human mortality

Drawing on the writings of Wallace Stevens, Marilynne Robinson and other poets, artists, musicians and thinkers, Brooklyn-based photographer Tim Carpenter (born 1968) argues passionately―in one main essay and a series of lively digressions―that photography is unique among the arts in its capacity for easing the fundamental ache of our mortality; for managing the breach that separates the self from all that is not the self; for enriching one’s sense of freedom and personhood; and for cultivating meaning in an otherwise meaningless reality.
Printed by famed indie publisher, THE ICE PLANT in three colors that reflect the various “voices” of the book, the text design follows several channels of thought, inviting various approaches to reading. A unique and instructive contribution to the literature on photography, Carpenter’s research offers both a timely polemic and a timeless resource for those who use a camera.
