Four works made for the place they live in. Stainless steel on a Palo Alto facade. A twenty-six-foot ceramic mosaic in a Texas atrium. A vortex of bovine bones suspended through a Montana stairwell. A small town in ceramic and bronze gathered into Bozeman City Hall.
Most of what we do is sourcing — bringing existing work into the rooms it belongs in. Commissioning is the other side of the practice. It begins with an empty wall, a stairwell, a facade — and asks an artist to make the work that belongs there. The relationship is direct, the timeline measured in months, and the result is built for one place only.
We bring artists into the architecture early, scope the brief in conversation with the design team, oversee fabrication, and stay through install. Each commission carries its own set of variables: scale, materials, mounting, lighting, the artist's own working pace. Each is a small project of its own.
A commission is the right move when the place asks for something specific that nothing existing can answer — the scale of an atrium, the geometry of a stairwell, the public face of a building. When it works, the work doesn't sit in the architecture. It belongs to it.
Tell us about the place — the wall, the brief, the mood. We'll come back with a short read and a few names.
