BADASS Scented Candle
“Caring for myself is not self-indulgent, it is self-preservation…” -Audre Lorde
Created exclusively for you by artist collaborative DARNstudio, this editioned 9oz. scented soy candle is poured in a hand-decorated signed vessel, and includes a BADASS book of matches!
Inspired by unapologetically badass women doing very hard things across the globe then, now and always, this candle’s fragrance is an enthralling combination of sumptuous ingredients responsibly sourced from around the world: violets from the rainforests of Tanzania, Himalayan bamboo, ylang ylang from the Philippines, Brazilian sandalwood, and oud from India.
DARNstudio is a collaboration of artists David Anthone and Ron Norsworthy. Our work investigates the built, designed, or otherwise manifested world we live in, breaks down its components and uncouples them from their implicit and inherited meaning(s). We then re-assemble in a way that disrupts its original function. Our work encourages alternative ways of understanding objects, ideas and structures through a process we refer to as “re:meaning”
Through reassignment, remixing, inversion, or juxtaposition DARNstudio’s work examines the purpose of things. These things may range from the macro and intangible (cultural institutions and norms) to the micro and concrete (mundane objects, words, expressions or phrases). We glean new meanings from these things in their disrupted reconfigurations which triggers new dialogue on the commonplace, the happenstance, and the “extraordinary ordinary”.
Our goal is to cast the familiar in an unexpected context so that it can be seen in an unfamiliar and new way.
