Travel Trailer: design-build project
No comment
After getting back from the Bay Area, I’m resuming work on the Project Trailer. I think I have a name for it, but it needs to marinate as I get close to getting this beast finished.
I’m designing and finishing the two kitchen units. The blue tape helps me visualize. The tall frame-work is one of the kitchen modular units. I’ve reconsidered the refrigerator I will use- which has caused me to redesign a little bit.

Nevada Museum of Art cafe: furniture
2 Comments
So I finally got to photograph the commissioned furniture pieces for the Nevada Museum of Art cafe, after returning from the Bay Area. The tables are made from reclaimed old oak and reclaimed cedar. And the bar top is made from reclaimed newer oak. The Composition Cafe sous chefs were prepping for the day.

I’ll be selling my furniture at SF’s Indie Mart. Wisconsin St. is taken over, between 16th and 17th- near my old working neighborhood.
Fine Arts Bivouac
No comment
A Fine Arts Bivouac project from Logan Lape, on site 1.
Logan’s object is mysterious, and serves a function-art-banality with the quiet presence of monumentality. And it suggests participation in (also found in his body of work) the slight of hand aesthetic tradition going back to Post-minimal and Conceptual Art. His piece will take place in other locations. This first site is on a mountain rising above ocean and wilderness south of Big Sur in the Big Sur Ventana Wilderness. The site is a wilderness encampment seasoned over the decades, one of many strung along the steep-pitched dirt road rising over the Pacific in oak and redwood wilderness.

New Commission: NMA
No comment
The Nevada Museum of Art commissioned me to design and build the furniture, bar and lights for the new tapas style restaurant they will be opening July 7th.
The wood I’m using is reclaimed oak (a few kinds of oak) from an Amish barn. The barn beams below are dated mostly from the 19th century, with one perhaps coming from the 18th century.
