This piece, by Matt Kirby, is one we installed for a private collector not long ago. Found objects, fabricated stainless, rare woods. I feel Matt’s a genius at blending these elements. What does the piece mean? I forget, but Matt and the collector know.

Met today with a designer for a major hospital. Hospital’s building a new cardiac ward. He’s looking for something dramatic yet unpredictable for the lobby, which has a 30′ ceiling. Wants to hang it from the ceiling, which I love doing. He couldn’t find what he was looking for on the West Coast, so he came to us. Yeah, I think we can fill the bill. More on this later, after the contract’s signed.

I loved the pretense of talking on the cell phone; anything to maintain concentration at this time. So cute, but the man ain’t duped.
