Spring is the season of renewal for HK’s Coarse. The flow of new product releases which began with March’s Oop Loser continues with the narrative driven ‘Casting Shadows’. Perhaps more than any previous Coarse project, Casting Shadows gives 3D form to a story, an altered relationship between a sitting Noop (7”) and his squid-like former friend Nism(4”). A lazy fall day spent flying a woven Paw! Kite (4”) among the C-OA-R-S-E foam leaves echoes both the joyous past and the isolated reality of the pair. Rarely seen, this scene-based approach highlights the primacy of narrative and relationships within the Coarse aesthetic and world.
Limited to 200 pieces, Casting Shadows Loser – hkg edition continues Coarse’s tradition of luxurious, imaginative packaging with a slide-out box offering two sides of the story – each side opened with a fabric pull tag featuring each character’s name. Casting Shadows Loser – hkg edition goes on sale exclusively from coarsehkg at 7:59 AM PST on May 3rd 2011 for HK $ 2488 (~ $320) , which includes global air shipping.
