"Snow Globe ""Six Comforts"

Sarah Clayton's Six Comforts snowglobe is one of our first limited edition art collaboration available. Made for our launch party & exhibit. Sarah painted & adapted a small plain cardboard house, & turned it into something amazing, which was then 3D scanned & printed in miniature. The original was sold at silent auction during the launch event, & 25 limited edition 4 globes are now available. Statement from the artist: The Six Comforts of Home is part of the work artist Sarah Clayton does in engagement with her work as archivist for the late Christopher Gustave, an itinerant but some ten years resident of St Louis, whose Six Comforts print designs, concept album installation at Mad Art back in the early 2000's had a lasting effect on the St Louis Art Community. Using the home as a metaphor for the world, Clayton proposes that everything we need in the world can be boiled down to six categories: FOOD, SLEEP, WORK, LOVE, SELF & HOME, & she imagines that this House is the ideal house for all, one that provides these necessities. Clayton also recently purchased a home here in St Louis, (following Gustave's advice that artists SHOULD move to ST Louis) & being intensely inspired by a property that could be publishing house, community event space, work space as well as a regular old place to sleep safely & raise children. She continues to be consumed with rehabbing the property (her home was used for one of Snow Day's first test snowglobes!) & hopes to be ready to open the gates in the near future, especially in time for the long-awaited Six Comforts Book Release. FYI we're past the window for holiday delivery - if you'd like to purchase a gift certificate, we're delivering those up to 12/22! Snow Globe Six Comforts
