Friends With You

We are experiencing truly crazy times. The world certainly appears a bit upside down. Or at least that's how it feels at times ... My point being we could all use a bit of help, or superpower. I may have found something both helpful and beautiful. From the moment I saw these multicolored resin stones by FriendsWithYou I was captivated, you could even say spellbound. Holding one of these Psychic Stones might just do the trick.

"Everything", 2013. Sacred objects encapsulated in resin. 6 x 6 inches.

The Psychic Stones are made by Samuel Borkson and Arturo Sandoval III of FriendsWithYou, an L.A. based artist collaborative, and they have a new edition which will be debuting at PK Shop (Paul Kasmin Gallery) on Thursday, Oct. 24th. The new edition includes the Everything, Evil Expel, Future, Golden Spell, Happiness, and Nature spells, with each stone being accompanied by instructions for their use and care and a unique magical ritual designed by the artists.

"Evil Expel", 2013. Sacred objects encapsulated in resin. 6 x 6 inches.

"Golden Spell", 2013. Sacred objects encapsulated in resin. 6 x 6 inches.

They have the perfect combination of playfulness, whimsy, and tactile appeal that make me just want to reach out and hold one, or all of them, in my hands.

From Oct. 24th, you can check out FriendsWIthYou's Psychic Stones for yourself at PK Shop in New York.
