This room is not trying to be an ordinary gallery. It is a deliberate, respectful recreation of a traditional Navajo hogan, and that changes the entire experience of standing inside it. The walls are built from stacked, peeled logs that meet at sharp angles—this is an eight-sided structure. In Diné culture, the hogan is more than just a house. The eight sides represent the four directions and the four sacred mountains, grounding the shelter in a living cosmology. It is a space designed for safety, ceremony, and community.

Hanging on the back wall is a beautifully detailed, framed work of art—a layered, multi-colored composition of stylized figures, birds, geometric bands, and human forms. It likely draws from the tradition of sandpainting, a sacred healing art where intricate, temporary designs are created on the floor during ceremonies. By placing this artwork inside a hogan rather than on a sterile white wall, the museum invites you to sit on the low wooden benches, look at the piece in its cultural home, and absorb it with the quiet reverence it deserves. It is a reminder that art from Indigenous cultures is not meant to be just looked at—it is meant to be lived with and understood within its own spiritual framework.

I fell in love with the final product! The legs are as precious as the top of the stool! too cute. Done in water-based glossy enamel and hit with several coats of non-yellowing polyurathane

A momentary alignment in the heart of Ludlow. I love the contrast between the rigid, geometric lines of the historic timber-framed buildings and the soft, craters of the moon hanging in a clear Shropshire sky.

Using a longer focal length allowed me to pull the moon closer to the architecture, emphasizing the height and heritage of the town.

Cherry Pie Recipe

2 pie crusts (I use store bought crusts and roll them super thin)

2 cans sour cherries (for 1 small pie)

1/4 cup corn starch

1 cup sugar

Drain the juice off the cherries (reserve the juice!! )

Add cornstarch to a little bit of the juice to dissolve it. Add Sugar and cornstarch mixture to the juice and cook on medium high until it thickens. Add cherries after the juice starts to thicken.

Pour cherries and juice into pie crust and top with 2nd pie crust.

bake at 375 for an hour

Cambridge Central Mosque, January 2020.

Stepped walls of weathered ochre plaster slope diagonally across the frame, with dark water stains streaking down the faces. The repeating edges and muted tones make a quiet study of texture and geometry in Jaipur.
