Chicago (two-car garage) studio
2017 - 2019
One electric heater is not enough.
One welder, can't have the heater and the welder on at the same time or the neighbors electricity goes out.
Two tanks: one acetylene, one oxygen.
Got them from Welding Industrial Supply Company, WISCO, on Western and Palmer street.
One dolly, contacted a local steel supplier, and took some rebar they had on stock.
Back and forth: 1.8 miles away.
One vice grip, many jigs.
Clamped
Heated
Twisted
Summer 19' google street view car goes by.
Witnessed!
All I wanted was to tell the universe I am busy.
Doesn't matter on what, with who, or how.

I won
I designed a space, it designed me back. This is the only design principle I believe in...
if you force matter into a shape it will shape back.
