FIRESTARTER by Harma Heikens
We are thrilled to officially introduce the brand new art sculpture by Harma Heikens, you must have seen Harma's "A Good Year" & "Sorry" sculpture from her exhibition or via the internet.
Firestarter sized to impress on a shelf, it sits upright, wheel ablaze, ready to roll on.
Dimension: 14"L x 4"W x 10"H
Material: Polystone
Artist's statement:
To me the burning tire refers to the popular revolt that we see a lot of these days. A gasoline-filled tire is a low-fi weapon, similar to the Molotov cocktail. But the "Wheel of Fire" is also an ancient religious symbol, referring to the sun an the motion of the earth, and the symbolic nature of fire is both creator and destroyer, purifier and defiler. The symbolic meaning of the burning wheel and the actual application of the burning tire as a violent means of revolution coincide, which makes the image extra powerful.
But it's of course also a symbol of speed- if you want it to be about formula 1 racing it's okay with me, it's never just one thing- and it's an obvious rock&roll reference too:
'This wheel's on fire, rolling down the road
Best notify my next of kin
This wheel shall explode!'
FAQs & Polices
Why Discordia?
It sounds pretty, and very in-crowd. Which really sums up the items we carry since most of it is cute and you have to be in-the-know when viewing our selection of unique artist produced and manufactured art toys.
And we wanted a name that could cover a wide range of goods where nothing would seem out of place and we could achieve maximum variety of art, books, toys, stickers and more.
Why is your Logo and Apple with a letter 'K' on it?
It is the 'Apple of Discord'. The 'K' is for 'Kalliste' meaning 'For the Most Beautiful'. According to myth, it was used to create confusion and strife.
Discordia Culture Shop is an 'Apple Of Discord' in a crass corporate world by helping Creatives reach the public and denting the corporate bottom line as much as possible.
The only rebellion left in a strip-mall world is starting your own business and supporting independent businesses whenever possible.

How long will it take to receive my order?
