thread and nail constellations

these are lids for boxes that i’m making for urban palate, but i also really like how they look as two dimensional objects. i love the way that the thread creates different shapes even though the placement of the nails is the same on each square.

sculpture for vermont

although i live in LA now, winter always makes me think about this sculpture… i made it at the end of a year that i spent in vermont (while working at vermont studio center). it’s made from vintage textiles that i collected over the year and dyed green. i installed it in a field, in the dead of winter on a rare sunny day. no one else saw it there- it was a piece that i made for myself.

bash, please “2012 in photos”

i was thrilled to see that Bash, Please included photos of three Bramble Workshop creations in their “2012 in Photos” blog post!  i really love working with those two- such creative visionaries!

tablescape

i recently created a tablescape using wooden dowels for urban palate and, before installing it in their tasting room, shot some photos with rebecca buenik at tracy wilkinson’s lovely home. i’ll post photos of the final installation at urban palate soon!

christmas party decorations

in december my team and i decorated a christmas party charity event in beverly hills. we got to make lots of classic party decorations like tissue paper poms, fringe garlands, and paper fans. i followed this DIY to make the paper trees.

star prototypes

early versions of the stars that I designed for the hermes holiday windows. they’re cast in clear resin and i love how they appear to be made from ice. the windows are installed in denver, seattle, and las vegas!

INDO projects

On a recent trip to Chicago I was thrilled to meet Linsey and Crystal of INDO projects. Although our work is different in a lot of ways, we have many things in common- there aren’t that many people out there who get to make window displays for a living! We had a lot to talk about and I even got to help with their current project- a string installation for a showroom in Chicago. Their work is often site specific and informed by the materials they use. Plus, they only work with recycled materials. I really admire this approach because I often have to discard props after my projects are complete.

Their work is amazing- simple and striking. Definitely check out their site and blog.
