Concept:

Stepping out of traditional shoemaking, blurring the lines between footwear and artifact. The starting point for this collection was artist Ricky Swallow, who very successfully manipulates wood into delicate forms, changing the viewers’ perception of the material through skillful carving. Grounded in a unique interpretation of architecture and sculpture, the pieces are sophisticated and elegant sculptural forms made from different types of wood (walnut, sapele and pear) that trace the silhouette of the foot on the inside, diffusing and hiding its profile on the outside.
