The Commission is Completed Today was Installation Day for RARE CURRENT Twelve feet of floral lace! It was a glorious fall morning with sunshine coming up over Foshee Tower, into the thirteenth floor of the US Bank Building, in downtown Minneapolis. In case you have not been following along, RARE CURRENT was commissioned by Tiffany Hanken Design for Eide Bailly   as part of their Minneapolis office renovation by HGA Architects. It is a beautiful office, with lovely textures, great geometry, quiet colors…that was in need of a flashy artwork for the entry that had softer textures and a few quiet surprises. Alycia Rubio, of Tiffany Hanken Design, found me.  With lots of input from Alexis Fenno and the managers and partners of Eide Bailly, RARE CURRENT was born! […]
