SKYLAB is on the Portland Interior Design Tour on SEPT 21. Come check it out!

The complex where they now work was updated in the mid-1940s. It consists of two prefabricated steel warehouse buildings connected by an enclosed walkway. The buildings have arching roof forms, and the easternmost structure features a 60-foot skylight, which allows sunlight to enter the work areas. Skylab and PDX Contemporary Art share this 10,000-square-foot space, which includes a kitchen, dining room, listening lounge, 3D print space, and workspaces with an industrial aesthetic. To create a welcoming environment, natural elements like cross-laminated timber, wood cabinetry, and four 15-foot-tall trees have been incorporated into the design.

She uses these abstract images to inform her sculptures in black or white enamel. (images 1 and 2)

Blacksmith Benoit Wintz uses ancient forging techniques on wrought iron in a technically challenging way to highlight the elegance and softness of the material. (images 3 and 4)
