I’ve always been fascinated by the seven deadly sins — so much more interesting than the seven virtues. I once tried to match each sin to one of Snow White’s Seven Dwarfs (close, but no cigar). A character in Robertson Davies’ The Cunning Man made a party game of rating one’s friends on their susceptibility to each sin. And of course all Thomas Pynchon fans know he defended sloth in Nearer, my Couch, to Thee, part of a NYTimes series on the sins.
All this is by way of saying that I’m quite taken by Kacper Hamilton’s design of wine glasses based on the Seven Deadlies. Envy is pictured below, but they’re all very evocative — go and look!
