Maarten Baas began the BHSD collection with a single instruction to himself: make it look as naïve as can be. What followed were doodles, the kind of unselfconscious marks that byp ass training and arrive directly from instinct. The result is a trio of glass creatures, catalogued with the dry precision of a scientific register as BHSD-001, BHSD-002, and BHSD-003. The absence of poetic names is itself a statement. Baas resists the temptation to romanticize, letting form carry the weight. Each monster is rendered in Lasvit's hand-blown glass, a material whose warmth and imprecision suits the creatures perfectly. The slight irregularities that live in every piece are not flaws. They are the point.

Here, that distance disappears entirely. These objects sit in a room the way a confident drawing sits on a wall: without apology, and with more presence than their scale suggests. Show more
