Urban Geodes

Artist Paige Smith, also known as Common Name, has made her mark by crystallizing the overlooked nooks and crannies of the streets of Los Angeles – and more recently, all over the world. The three-dimensional shards are created using painted paper or cast resin and then carefully organized to fit inside urban spaces. What a great reminder that beauty can be found in the most modest places.
