new: david wiseman

ziskin-4web
i’ve been a fan of david wiseman’s since he first burst onto the scene in 2004. his colorful deer head hat hangers may have been what got him started, but he’s made such leaps and bounds into the realm of custom installation work. i’ve posted several of david’s gorgeous porcelain installations before, but i’m excited to share some of his newest work today.

david recently completed a of cast bronze ‘desert with blooming succulents’ seder plate for the contemporary jewish museum, as well as an installation for the r20th century booth at design miami. i’m also quite taken with his porcelain wall branch chandelier above- it’s such an elegant take on wall lighting. click here to see more of david’s work.

For a similar effect on the cheap: I have a friend who salvaged a clean, dry branch (almost exactly like the one in the first photo) from someone’s yard, hung it on her living room wall with small coat hooks, and made colorful origami leaves and flowers to attach to the branch.

It’s not nearly as stunning as David Wiseman’s pieces! but it looks pretty cool.

Those are all really beautiful. I love art that depicts nature.

Love it!! I work at a pre-school where we always hang branches from the ceiling and decorate them seasonally. Now I just have to figure out the best way to attach flowers and lights!

i like the idea but the execution leaves me cold. it’s too intrusive or something.

Love David’s work, always have. The bronze vase is stunning, I am glad you can see the scale in the 4th picture.

that seder plate is moving – so meaningful.

How beautiful and artistic this is. I would love to see these pieces in a modern clean house architecture.

Those branches with flowers are simply gorgeous.

I agree with KMR, but the pieces in themselves are just so beautiful!
Thanks!

Um, not to be too technical, but as someone who currently has some of the succulents featured in the ‘desert with blooming succulents’ seder plate that are actually blooming, I can most definitely say that the ones in the piece are definitely not blooming. The plants themselves are reminiscent/suggestive of roses or certain blooms, but when these kinds of succulents actually bloom they send out long shoots with tiny flowers at the ends.
