A Powerful Request for Khabir & Ceri
Please Read!
Dear friends of Khabir and Ceri (Jones) Salahadyn,
Four weeks ago, Khabir was diagnosed with liver cancer. We are still learning about the diagnosis and where his journey will lead. However, we do know that more than 20 tumors have taken up residence in Khabir’s liver, and that he and Ceri will need a lot of support to move through this situation.
Khabir and Ceri are seeking further medical information and then treatment for Khabir, without the benefit of health insurance. Additionally, they must secure a new place to live and work by May 1 and vacate their current space by May 6.
Your help is urgently needed. To read more please Click Here

Our thanks and blessings to you All

"Origin"
The Plumes of The Phoenix shimmer, as she emerges for another 500 to 1,000 years. Clues of The Heart are sung through the rhythmic stories of the Trees. The Moon reflects an air of the unseen as The Crystal waters journey low. Monumental Pyramids honored by the sands of time in Glass transparency, as we connect to the Bronze within! Every breath of transition is honored in the culmination of Ceremony at
"The Shard"
This 20ft all Aluminum water sculpture was designed, built, sculpted and installed, for a private commission in, Denver, CO.
This sculpture contains 3 water features.Standing at 20.9 ft, the Shards summit holds the infinity pool that cascades 12ft before re-entering the sculpture. Re-emerging at 6 & 7ft through 2 other shards positioned on opposite sides of the central shard.
The sculpture has been installed in a very unique position. A specially designed and excavated space has been carved out inside the second floor. That allows the Shard to be placed within the foundations of the ground, rising out of the first floor, through the second floor to the ceiling.
Inspired by a dream to build the environment around the Art!
Working Art, "Making Ideas Tangible".

Wood and Aluminum Fusion
Bespoke and exquisite uses of wood and metal fusions have been designed and fabricated for hand railing, means of egress systems. This project called for, Mahogany and Aluminum.
This 3 story historic property (also home to The Shard) hosts 3 means of egress levels that we were delighted to wrap with this unique handrail, supported by custom Aluminum newel posts and joining systems.
We have since repurposed the use of this handrail as part of the design and creation of an Elegant Industrial Modern furniture collection that includes the use of pure bronze structures that can be viewed at the Denver Design District.

Aluminum lit Mantel with illuminating Bronze pyramid.
The Aluminum Mantel was designed, built and installed to allow a strong structural system without disturbing the old brick wall to hold it.
We integrated a recessed lighting system inside the Mantel unit to light up both the feature itself and the fine art Bronze pyramid sculpture along with a beautiful glass mobile that we designed to highlight this space, providing a glowing ambiance without the need for a flame. Expressing timelessness with a present day language.
