I just found out about Pinterest because someone pinned my George Nelson "swag leg" side table on 1stdibs!

Studio Opening!

Coming soon! I'm opening my studio in the Hudson Valley. I've been working hard on the building since February and it's finally coming together. It will be open on Saturdays as of June 16th. Stay tuned for more details...

The Modern Aesthetic and John Chamberlain

John Chamberlain, 1962

John Chamberlain's recent "Choices" show at The Guggenheim was very inspiring. Though the show is down now, I did get a chance to visit it by myself one spring morning.

While climbing up the circular walkway, the retrospective unfolded -- the earliest work at the bottom of the building and ending with the most recent pieces at the top. Twenty minutes of taking it all in and reaching the top, I began to go back down, imagining myself as a sculptor. I was getting deeper and deeper into that fantasy that when I came home, I almost enrolled in a sculpture class.

De Kooning, 1960

His work is so painterly. Each piece of crinkled strip of metal is like a single brush stroke -- like in a De Kooning painting.

Looking at Chamberlain's work made me see things differently. I started taking photographs of collaged patterns of everyday things and making my own collages that reminded me of his sculptures. I'm continuing to document the world around me in a different light.
