wall hanging thing




for my birthday a few years ago, jackie gave me this...


it's called a uten.silo and was designed in 1969 by dorothee becker.

it hangs on the wall just outside my office and is something i look at every day.
it looks great when it's empty and then when you add things to it it becomes your own little work of art. an ever changing piece of art too.

some of the things i can see on this photo are:
a jesus action figure, two obey vip bracelets, a sew-on patch, new york subway fridge magnet, japanese breath fresheners, some floral handled tools, a key-ring from western samoa, paul frank union jack wallet, wrist compass, pez dispensers, g.i. joe, matches from a now defunct restaurant, mexican playing cards, a spirit level given to me by michael marriott, a tin angel of guadelupe, passports, a sample piece of paul smith leather a miffy magnet, note from jess, chopsticks, spongebob toy, underwater torch, corkscrew, eames house of cards, maps of tokyo, nyc and madrid subway. a booklet about the nutritional value of food served at white castle, various key rings and phone ornaments, permanent markers and a mark whitfield cd.
