This work of art by American craftsman and woodworker Crawford Riddell from the Gothic revival period is one of the greatest expressions of the Gothic revival style in American furniture in my opinion. It stands not only as a work of rich craftsmanship but as a strong symbol of the political and social objectives of the era. The bedstead is the most striking and highly carved…

Dream of Empire The visual representations of ruins by various painters have been reflections of the philosophical environments in which they lived, as well as their own contributions to the understanding of empire and ruins as a whole. These artists used techniques such scale, composition, spatial organization, iconography, and color to convey their ideas rather than words. As a result, the public understanding of ruins has evolved over time, both through literary works and visual ones,…

A wide open field in upstate New York turns into the hotspot of the country in 1969. Same event 30 years later, in an abandoned airport terminal, turns into a horror story, all over national news. This event; Woodstock. The ideas behind the original hippie concert were destroyed after the 1999 anniverary concert, but never forgotten.

I think of all the different family owned butcher shops, bakeries, specialty cheese shops, restaurants and more that have been in business longer than I have been alive. At one time, this outdoor market was an urban enclave in which mainly Italian and Jewish immigrants worked, lived and raised their families. Today, while this outdoor market has become diversified with…

The homeless reside in places like abandoned buildings, cheap hotels, emergency shelters, in bus and train stations, under bridges, in subways and on the streets.
