The hanging mobile for Cafe O’Lei in Maui is powder coated and ready for its journey across the Pacific! We literally cannot wait to see it in person. [smiling sunglasses face emoji]
More Marine Life!
Sorry for the photo dump, but we wanted to share progress shots of our marine life sculptures for the Sandals Resort and it was hard to narrow down! Next up, powder coating!
Sandals Resort Marine Life
Here’s a super fun project we’ve been working on! We’re creating 15 sculptures of marine life indigenous to the Turks and Caicos for display at a Sandals Resort.
We wanted to create 3-D sculptures that have a line drawing feel to them, so we’re creating mock-ups from laser-cut cardboard, and the final product will be laser-cut stainless steel. Stay tuned for more!
Hello From Seattle
During winter break, Matt and his wife snuck off to Seattle for a few days, where they visited all kinds of touristy but delightful places, including Pike’s Place, Olympic Sculpture Park, Chihuly Garden and Glass, and maybe even the Space Needle... In true engineer-turned-artist fashion, Matt really geeked out on the glass blowing demonstrations at the Chihuly museum.
Portugal Mobiles En Route!
Phew, it’s been a full December! Matt has spent a chunk of winter break getting the two mobiles for the Portuguese architecture firm completed and shipped. Here they are in the shop. We can’t wait to see pictures of them installed!
Cafe O'Lei Maui Mobile in the Shop
The hanging mobile for Maui’s Cafe O’Lei is built and off to get powder coated!
Pittsburgh Residence Lighting Fixture
Earlier this year, we sent off this light fixture mobile to a lovely family who had built a mid-century style home in Pittsburgh. We just received these photos of the installed fixture, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to see it in its gorgeous home. Merry Christmas to us!
Behind the Scenes: Copper Mesh
Here’s the huge roll of copper mesh we’ll be working with to create the California casino ceiling sculptures! We’ve moved from mock-up phase to IT’S-GO-TIME phase.
Portugal Archicture Firm Mobiles
Back in October, Matt and his wife vacationed in Portugal. Ironically, while IN Portugal, the CEO of a Porto, Portugal-based architecture firm contacted Matt about creating some mobiles for the firm’s new showroom. Alas, Matt didn’t have time to jet up to Porto to see the space in person, but it will still a delightful coincidence. And he’s thrilled to be working on that project right now.
One mobile is a mid-century piece that will be a focal point in showroom’s two story space. Another single-story space will feature a mobile featuring a flock of birds. Below are some in-progress sneak peeks before they ship later this month.
Unfortunately, Matt won’t be installing the mobiles, but he’s hoping to return to Portugal sooner than later to see the mobiles in their spaces!
Stay tuned for more progress pics.
California Respite Center Ceiling Sculpture Renderings
Here are renderings for a project on our 2026 schedule. This will reside in the main lobby of a respite center providing short-term medical care for unhoused individuals. The sculpture will hang behneath a skylight, represent the canopy of a tree. We’re honored to be part of this project, and we’re excited to see it come together!
