With 160 pages of photography by Shuji Yoshida and Joshua White, “Grafted” was printed in an edition of 1250 copies. The book is the upshot of two exhibitions by LA-based ceramicist Adam Silverman and award-winning Japanese plant sculptor Kohei Oda, for which the two created over 100 pieces—combining the former’s textured pots and the latter’s grafted cacti. Separately the artists’ works are beautiful, but it’s their collaboration (as Glenn Adamson say in his introduction) that proves art has no boundaries.

Sculpted in Jonathan Adler’s Soho studio, these hand-shaped serving utensils are then cast in solid brass and finished with a food-safe lacquer. Little sculptures in their own right, these table tools serve up a bit of surrealism as they sparkle. In the most literal sense, these are hands ready to serve—but they should avoid acidic foods and be washed by hand.
