We were lucky enough to work with Charles Johnson on the railings for Candela Gallery on Broad St. It’s a beautiful new gallery/studio run by Gordon Stettinius.

U of R downtown richmond

Hanging structural steel at the U of R downtown campus gave me the opportunity to see something I may have never seen.

Here are a couple of pictures from the Pasture install:
