Some cheer for late November days: classic Swedish linen...

Happy Thanksgiving: Guatemala on my Chicago mind

While we experienced early snow, setting a 120-yr record here in Chicago (client palette highlighted above by white ground), my mind is on the recent photo (below) sent to SSG from our Guatemalan friends in AFOPADI.

I am sharing gratitude for the bounty of the harvest and everything else.

Today is a big day in Chicago with the release of the police video. May we all move towards Justice.

Work like being in a candy shop...

Adam & Ezra Siegel: Works

Oldies but goodies. So nice to live with art over time.

Pure Joy: Children in the garden

Imagine my delight and satisfaction to hear from a client that: the day after we installed this walkway...

...one of their children spent her morning running back and forth on the path. This reminds me of a garden I designed years ago. The budget did not permit a literal water feature, so I designed a little triangle of blue blue recycled glass. Soon after it was installed, that client contacted me. He sent a photo of their son playing with a toy dump truck in the triangle, moving the glass back and forth. I love when kids manifest their inherent sense of play in the garden.

P.S. Don't worry: that downspout is moving soon!
