From the Studio: Stacks

Studio life can be a game. That's how I came to make the first of my new stacked pieces. I wanted a new game for myself. How could I up the ante?

And so arose the idea of a vessel made not from a single shape, but from a number of shapes, balanced in stacks. I set out to make one and soon realized that the structure was very complicated-- very different from, and much more challenging than, anything I had done. And there I was, deep into figuring it out-- in the middle of another game.

I am very excited about them-- and already imagine the next step.
