My AccountThe Looking Glass is a custom-built, user-led, immersive installation that transports people to different wine regions around the world in the Studio portion of our store. The Looking Glass3 is the outward face of the project, built to showcase digital artists and provide a platform for passersby to interact with the installation in real-time by scanning a QR code and choosing where they would like to travel.
Like everyone else, we have interests beyond wine, and this combination of our wine installation with a new platform allows us to engage more fully with the art-centric community in our beautiful corner of Chelsea.
Featured Artists
July -August 2024
Sarah Ann Banks is a digital artist based in Brooklyn, NY working primarily with 3D animation software. She uses the virtual space to build an expansive world full of fantastical objects and creatures. These creations are born from vintage objects, nature, and her own personal narratives.
Banks develops stories and personalities that overlap between her works, updating with her own interests and daily life. The content ranges from deer with thick pink lashes to mysterious smoking cauldrons.
Banks received a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2019. Some of her recent clients include Harper’s Bazaar, Urban Decay, Coach, and Nike.

The Flower Project, created by Cynthia and Myles Bryan, transcends traditional art boundaries by utilizing digital art to delve into the nuanced exploration of non-binary genders and the dismantling of societal norms surrounding femininity and masculinity. As a trans and queer couple, Cynthia and Myles Bryan intimately share the transformative journey of transition, akin to the unfolding petals of a flower undergoing an unexpected metamorphosis.
