All the President’s Men - the concentric desks in the Library of Congress seemed like a newspaper conveyor belt breaking Nixon's Watergate. Departing from steel, materials included bicycle chain,
printer plates, brass, gimbaled
compass, foundry form,
and copper. Photo

One of a kind miniature worlds that evoke nostalgia with a modern twist. Steel vignettes inspired by vintage furniture and classic film, television and literature.
62 mini album awards commissioned by benny blanco - when the album "friends keep secrets" won two GOLD and one PLATINUM awards, I was commissioned to make 62!! tiny versions INSTEAD of the traditional ones that the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) creates. Materials: sterling silver pattern wire, gold plated discs, sterling silver discs, heat treated copper, magnifying lens, glass beads, and jewelry chain
1” wide x 2” tall. Also in collections of ed sheeran, khalid, halsey and many others. Below are the original images his art directors sent to me for inspiration and design:
The left two images above are the designs the creative directors sent me - first the ornate one, then they changed to the simplified one. But I couldn't get the ornate one out of my head, so I made them two prototypes. Luckily, they chose my ornate interpretation. Being cheeky and to protect the tiny prototypes in shipping, I sent them in perfectly sized Altoids tins. They liked that idea so much, that they wanted ALL 62 to be shipped in Altoids tins. I had a lot of mints to go through. Fortunately, I found a source that went through the mints in RECORD time. Of course, I made little satin "beds" for them out of gold satin. The last photo shows the sterling silver frames I made individually instead of casting. They are shown before cleaning and spraying with automotive paint in benny's favorite color PINK. At the bottom is a video of the unboxing and a few photos screen-grabbed from the Architectural Digest site when they toured his home and zoomed in on it sitting on his shelving of tchotchkes.
