“Objects of desire are the business of Joe Sheehan. Works of art that deliver a tender punch-to-the-gut moment at first sight.
The thing with a Sheehan... it’s impossible to encounter one and not want it. His work conjures the kind of ardent starry-eyed longing normally reserved for other matters of the heart.
The detritous and filler of a material world – lightbulbs, tv remotes, entire dwellings reduced to silhoutte – are rendered glorious in stone. For Objectspace, 10 perfect homes. A ring, a pendent, a pint-sized sculpture. However you decide to to live with yours prepare to fall in love.” – Kim Paton

Carved from stone, this Wear-House Ring can't be resized. Good thing it's an equally exquisite pendant or "pint-sized sculpture".
