suburban light house

someone's been busy in the workshop today!

this amazing house came to light in a very short time frame, but is as solid as a house. wow, two puns in one sentence! anyway, it looks spectacular. i'm resisting the urge to deconstruct its meaning as an art object (the inner glow of the home hearth, the inverted reflection of antipodean architecture etc etc) ... no wait ... i didn't resist at all! it's so sculptural how can i resist?!

imagine a line of these over a dining table - like an upside down street scape. cool, no?

Thursday in the workshop

One of things I've really enjoyed about working at Stockroom is seeing all the work that goes on behind the scenes. Magali teaches herself software code and builds our website, and designs our graphics. Lucy interviews our makers for this blog, and is busy getting her art into magazines and exhibiting all over the place. And Jason often hammers and tinkers away in the workshop making furniture and building shop fittings for the warehouse and for commissions. It's a hub of activity and it's great to be around. It's motivating too. Anyway, I wanted to capture a little bit of that vibe, so here's a random section of time on a pretty average Thursday, out in the Stockroom Workshop. It's Jason hand-painting a business sign. Artistic dedication. He doesn't like to make a fuss about it ... but I will.
