Richard Mafong

the BOMB, 2019

“Richard’s bullet-shaped vase is surrounded by spikes, showing the danger of an explosion around the top. And you might put a sign on there—do not touch—because those things are sharp. That’s about it…well, no, let me go a little further. It’s interesting how somebody can take something so scary and make something so beautiful.”

— Larry Jens Anderson
