I was able to play/create recently with the S.O.S. Design Team, Abe & Andrew Geaseland. Brothers who get together a few times a year to re-claim, re-finish, re-use junkyard treasures into use-able art. Often in the form of furniture: chandeliers and floor lamps (Andrew is a certified electrician), tables & chairs…. Their next show opens November/ December 2011 at the AMOArt Gallery in Waitsburg, Washington.
About lafairbanks
L. A. Fairbanks was born and raised barefoot on a small farm in rural southeastern Washington: home to rolling fields of wheat, mountains of blue, hiding under the skirt of evergreens. She received a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science & Writing from Utah State University while living, traveling, learning from the world. Jobs have included the composting of wastes, the polishing of fine jewelry, teaching backcountry survival/backpacking skills, soil science lab technician (complete with geeky latex gloves, safety glasses and a lab coat), as well as publishing a few essays here and there.
When not in the studio, Laure can be found gardening, restoring an ancient house, climbing walls of rock, or creating magic with her nieces & nephews...
