Nicole Peskin's functional art blurs the boundary between art and the functional object. A design for a lamp is foremost a sculptural concern, its ability to illuminate a secondary cause. A blue-black, monolithic piece on which many tiny silver sardines stream upward toward a small, lit square functions both as a light fixture and an aesthetic object. Her work is informed by her materials, primarily metal and glass, and also by her artistic influences: Noguchi, Giacometti, Picasso, and Cocteau. |
