Architectural installation art by Margo Sawyer
House in Santa Fe, NM, by Page Sutherland Page.
Completed in 2012, this house is most easily identified by the custom-colored rammed earth walls.
Our role was to fabricate the joint vision of artist Margo Sawyer, architect Larry Speck, and interior designer Wendy Dunnam Tita, in tight collaboration with builder Dave Campbell of J M Evans Construction and home owner Rick Torcasso, and definitely architect Bruce Loethen.
Discussions started a year before installation. Wendy introduced us. Margo and I spent a lot of time developing the construction system. Dave Campbell worked with me directly. He nailed the tolerences to the stepped ceiling, the fireplace, and the hidden ductwork. The installation went perfectly.
Wendy commissioned custom furniture for the house, coffee tables, office credenza, card table.
This commission was the most professional experience I have had ever. The early planning was crucial to achieving the quality. The collaborators worked in a atmosphere of trust and respect. It should always be like this.

Axis Chair/Bench

Cherry, Walnut, Danish Cord
July 2012
Originally commissioned by fellow Guild member Todd Campbell, this line will now be a production item.
The cherry for Campbell's original commission came from his family farm in Michigan, where it had been sitting in a barn for decades, awaiting it's destiny as Campbell's dining room seating. I have a strong affinity for Danish cording, so I immediately proposed it as a seating material. The second set was commissioned--along with a table--by Mockingbird Domestics, a new furniture store on South Lamar that supports local makers.
