1″ x 1.5″, glass
I’m building a glass and steel wine rack, my first welded commission, and it’s reminding me of the constant struggle between constraints and freedom. On the one hand, I’d like to create exactly what I want, but on the other, the constraints of working to the client’s requirements and building something that they’ll love creates a welcome set of boundaries. Years ago, running a teen center, I learned how much kids crave clear boundaries and the freedom to be creative within them. Nothing has really changed. Constraints make that which is created within them even more special.
