What if the Discrete took a playful turn? A series of investigations by Los Angeles landscape, film and architecture collaborative Quirkd33 has been exploring the idea of building blocks made not of abstract forms, but stuffed toys. Along with work by artists Tristan Lowe and Mike Kelley, Quirkd33's designer and owner Ryan Vincent Manning discusses how they test the boundary between familiarity and fuzziness.
