“You could say it’s my instinct. Yes I still have one.”
—Neko Case

'Hoof Heels' are inspired by both contemporary fashion trends  (AF Vandevorst) and ancient folklore (Pan). They suggest that the viewer can easily embody the animal self.

"Jackson’s precisely molded and glistening glazed forms are both beautiful and grotesque, and ask us to consider how animal instincts can live within human nature. And in doing so, she presents an interesting paradox, such as that noted by Simon Critchley: “There is something charming about an animal becoming human [but] when the human becomes animal, then the effect is disgusting.” For her, “These images provoke a psychological simile between animal and human, instinct and reason, the subconscious and the conscious."

Excerpt from 'We Believe in Something'.
By Christopher Atkins, Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MAEP Coordinator.

Material: ceramic, platinum gold luster, flock, glaze, fur (9" x 11" x 4").

The SICIS’s 'shoe shaped' bathtub, Audrey, is covered with precious glass mosaic in an artistic way.

Audrey show a new level of originality. Their shape - of an elegant pump shoe with a skyscraper heel (165 cm!!) - is perfect to receive a body in a comfortable embrace, as the water trickling from above massages the shoulders of their occupant. Like an oversized version of a... classic Barbie shoe (50’s anniversary)!

Design and colour can be custom on request, the water comes from the heel like a waterfall but there is also a lateral tap. Length of the bathtub is 270 cm, maximum wide 101 cm.

Audrey was first introduced at the 'Salone del Mobile' (International Furniture Fair), in April 2009 in Milan, Italy. There are three models available to see in our showroom in Milan, but soon they will be also abroad.

This shoe sculpure is part of a series of 20 sculptures of shoes dedicated to the most relevant women in history, literature, cinema and comics. This project has been commissioned by Superstudio Milan and ANCI, and chosen as opening event for the MICAM 2006.

Mona Lisa
I have tried to imagine Mona Lisa’s feet and I think that, after all the interests shown for her throughout the centuries from millions of quotations, remakes, tons of written paper and who knows what else, she’s probably laughing up her sleeves: I’d imagine a bright open smile hidden under her dress aside from the shot that Leonardo da Vinci made her protagonist of the most renowned painting of the world. I join myself to the procession of whose that quoted her and that will still do it in the centuries to come and I make her shoe in the capacity of a comic; a fake smile painted PET and a question mark as heel representing the androgynous, feminine and masculine at the same time, as trend at that time of Leonardo, among embarrassing exchange of pictorial subjects and renamed self-portraits spiced up with alchemy.

Virtual Shoe Museum : Ceramics
Home of the Virtual Show Museum

Please read our Terms and conditions for using this website.

The Virtual Shoe Museum was initiated by Liza Snook in 2004. Once the idea was born, a long search began for designers, photographers and publishers connected to shoes. New friendships developed and our mailbox filled with loads of material on fantastic shoes, art and design on shoes.

And finally, with the help of Taco Zwaanswijk of Interactive Affairs, who designed the site, and Bart van der Ploeg of Resolume, who programmed the database and created the content management system, we're live! And proud! And we're only just beginning...

If you have any questions about the collection, or leads on shoes or designers, please let us know. Also, we're interested in your opinion on the collection and your experiences in the museum. You can contact the Virtual Shoe Museum by mail: Liza@VirtualShoeMuseum.com.

The Virtual Shoe Museum has different 'perspectives' on a shoe or object. These perspectives (designer, focus, colour, material, etc) show related objects and thus ways to navigate the collection.

The left column of the screen contains the main navigation. Each perspective contains several 'rooms'. Each room contains thumbnails of the objects it contains (on the right side of the screen). Choose any to view this object.

On an object's page, below the image, you can view more images, video and text (if available). Above the thumbnails, you find a list showing all the rooms this object belongs to. Here you can wander the rooms and find related objects.
