Remember Gary Knox Bennett on the Craft in America show? He's been innovating for decades, and he's pretty 'mainstream' in the art world.
I'm sure there are a lot of other folks elsewhere, working in similar directions.

I always wanted to make a claw and ball foot piece where one of the balls looks like it is rolling away and the leg and foot are reaching out and catching it at the end of the claws. Not my idea, I saw it in FWW I think but great idea.
If there is a 'feel' of 'flow' I'm all for it. But to design something out-landish, just for the sake of 'different'...well try again.
