\nZEKE LEONARD: MAKE THINGS THAT MAKE THE MUSIC MAKE THE CHANGE<\/span><\/p>\n

Furniture designer and maker living in Syracuse, New York, Zeke Leonard\u2019s former career as a theatrical set designer was a continuous cycle of making beautiful things and then putting them in the trash. Now I am trying to reverse that process, by taking cast-off objects and making them into beautiful things. I work on commission, using locally found objects and materials to create one-of-a-kind pieces that will live on for generations.\u00a0zekeleonard.com<\/a><\/p>\n

\nCHRISTIAN SCHMIT, MYSTERIES OF THE MUNDANE<\/span><\/p>\n

Christian Schmit\u2019s work questions if the miniature can express profundity and if unremarkable objects can hold great mystery. Out of found materials, he builds tableaus, dioramas and theatrical models that hopefully are possessed of condensed and complex meaning. His work was recently shown at the Alice F. and Harris K. Weston Gallery. christiandschmit.com<\/a><\/p>\n
