A recreation of the studio as both physical space and psychological interior. The desk surface displays prints of books, notes, and hands at work — scaled to size, layered across multiple levels of plexiglass, building a visible record of every session of thinking and making that has taken place there. A glass shadow box alludes to the window that doubles as mirror during late nights of work, where creativity tends to arrive. The Odyssey of An Oddity is camouflaged and introversive, yet loud and completely out of place — a space that holds the history of a practice without giving it away easily.
