So if you meet me Have some courtesy Have some sympathy, and some taste Use all your well-learned politesse Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah
A day without sunshine is like....night.
Growing up ,my parents made nearly everything in the house,furniture, light fixtures,pots and pans...
My father was a master sculptor and my mother was a fabric artist.
I was trained to first think how I could make whatever I needed ,and only as a last resort, to buy something manufactured.
It is strange to see how rare this philosophy and orientation has become in such little time...
Now I am called a "Maker".
Just as I would have been called 3000 years ago in my ancestor's Celtic tribal society.

I first fabricate the sinks then they are cast UPSIDE DOWN on very flat platen tables ,in the studio of my friend and collaborator Patrick Miller of bohemianstoneworks.com He then commences the final wet grinding and polishing. All recycled materials and filtered water by the way. He is very green conscious.
He first takes precise measurements and patterns of the space the piece will go in.
He casts in his studio instead of on-site because he can control all the parameters much better.
This is no ordinary cement also. He spent a year exploring just the right admixtures and elements to create an amalgam that could handle the micro expansion that occurs in my metal sinks if boiling water is poured in them...
