...tacit defiance, one of Peter Richards's sculptures mischievously calls out a challenge to M.C. Escher's ants.

Richards claims with all honesty that this is not meant to be an overt sexual solicitation.

Each bag is made from scratch, one by one, by a team of two workers who stamp their insignia inside. If the bag needs repair, even 10 years after it is sold in Singapore or Seattle, it is shipped back to the original...
