Our second editorial from Spring/Summer 2022 is inspired by an earthwork sculpture created by Robert Smithson in 1970 called the Spiral Jetty. Located in the Great Salt Lake in Utah, it forms a spiral that is 460m long and 4.6m wide. The sculpture coils counterclockwise and leads out from the shore of the lake. The massiveness and tranquility that the Spiral Jetty possesses is nothing short of beautiful.

Our good friend, Stockholm-based artist N.ALEG recently held his latest exhibition in our Men's Store. His work plays with the eye of the observer through a perspective he likes to refer to as 2.5 dimensional. The imagery may be perceived as flat at first glance but gradually reveal multiple depths, a sort of optical illusion made up by intertwining shapes and layers. He expresses his perception of both sides of the non-dualistic world through his work, focusing on the basis of consciousness while highlighting the observer within us.

"When looking at my work you should expect to see marks. Maybe a fingerprint, ridges from throwing, scars from how they were stacked in the kiln and patterns created by fire. To me these marks are decorative and very much a part of the pieces spirit. However I let them come naturally and not by force.”
