Wave Pool’s upcoming 10 year anniversary fundraiser called "It's Been a Decade" on June 25th will include a silent auction. We wanted to get started highlighting some of the amazing work donated by artists. This first piece is from Mark de Jong, a neighbor, friend, and long time supporter of Wave Pool. Mark is more widely known for his art houses including the Swing House, Stair House, and Smoke House. Cut nails were common in homes until the early 1900s and these were salvaged from renovations, galvanized, and magnetized by the artist to create these unique forms. Bids are made in person on the 25th. Get your tickets via the link in our bio!

"Mature" is a group exhibition in the Stair House, Mark deJong's newest house art project. Jason Nix, Steve Paszt, and Jacqueline Wood present works that are responsive to the house and resulting from collaborative efforts with deJong. Maturity is the step before decay and death and/or transcendence and metamorphosis. This show acts as a bridge between former resident Marie's life to the transformation of the Stair House, which is still in progress. Support for this 2022 Fotofocus Biennial exhibition was provided by Fotofocus

This is the form work for the concrete pilasters to support the steel, which in turn, supports the walls. Ready for the pour.

I said goodbye to these walls this past week. They’ve been like this for the past two years anticipating the start of my work on the Stair House.
