Artist Proof from a series of autonomous sculptural forms developed within the same formal system as our large-scale installations. Complete structures conceived to hold presence at an intimate scale. Born from pencil sketch, digitally modeled and physically realized, then resolved through direct hand-finishing. Unique color AP for a previously sold out limited edition of 10, the surface state of the piece is singular.

‘A Field Guide to a Creative Life’ written by Francesco Lo Castro

Written from inside a working practice for anyone trying to do serious work while the ground moves under them. A book about how to hold coherence when the institutions thin out, how to price judgment over output, how to recognize when the work is being managed away from you, and how to keep a practice intact through the years that test it.

It speaks to artists. It also speaks to anyone trying to build serious work in a field whose rules are dissolving in real time. The book I would have wanted at 22, built for the people standing where I stood.

118 illustrated pages.

For the artist, the builder, the person doing the work while the ground moves.

A field guide as a working document. It travels with you. It earns marginalia. It reopens when the weather changes.

This is a set of guiding principles, tested across decades of making. They are firm enough to stand on and porous enough to let your own life through. The story they belong to is one you have to live and tell.

The orientations are mine. The field is yours.

Read it as an instrument. Mark it up. Argue with it. Carry it where the work takes you.
