CUSP OF CONFLUX



CUSP OF CONFLUX
Kegan Fisher
paintings & drawings
June 25 - July 31

CUSP OF CONFLUX explores the moment before everything ends. It seeks to capture time as so incomparably quiet, so impossibly still, that we are unaware if movement persists.

Kegan Fisher's new collection of paintings and drawings is composed of works constructed around horizon lines, tight as skin stretched around sockets, full of memory and yesterday. Worlds are full of elemental structures that have long outlived their architects. Skies droop like wet cotton, with clouds hung up to dry.

Fisher's artwork encapsulates the point at which development has ceased, cities are empty, and we stand as voyeurs, witness to a silent future.

PCL: at it again

Our friends over at Pop Chart Lab have been working over time. It wasn't easy deciding which new posters and tees to add to our line- but here they are. They'll be arriving at the shop tomorrow.

And something B insisted upon, the Game Controller Tee. Ah, boys.

new in the store

at last, summery products for our Red Hook customers! These retro-inspired items from Wintercheck Factory embody the Brooklyn aesthetic very well. All of Wintercheck Factory's products are made in limited runs, and are of the utmost quality. What's more, we brought in the clothing after it had been marked down- so we are offering both swimsuits and the mini skirts at great prices! (and the original prices were reasonable enough)


first up, the Jen Halter Swimsuit. Beautiful cut, heavy fabric, and a hidden pocket for your keys and cash! pencil lead grey, $62



the anna romper- already a fave in our shop! same heavy fabric and hidden pocket, this time done up in an easy (and forgiving) romper shape. anna has a built-in shelf bra. anna and jen are both made in Brooklyn! punch out purple, $62



the sarah skirt, in both rusty nail maroon and blue; or masking tape tan, yellow and red. sarah has silky hip pockets (yes- women's clothing with pockets!) and a simple, casual cut that will be cool and comfy for those sticky nyc summer days. made in Brooklyn too! $54



the lizzie sunglasses! I have always loved the safety glass look and I'm glad to see it brought back. (I've been waiting since the 80's) Wintercheck's version comes with either pistachio green or smoke grey lenses. we're carrying the orange earpiece version, and each pair comes with a sturdy plastic case. this design seems to look good on everyone. $45

so stop by our store before we sell out of these gems, okay?
