100 Candleholders draws inspiration from JB’s 1981 exhibition 100 Plates Plus, where he playfully expanded a prolific form. Here, each artist brings a distinct approach to material, process, and the interplay between aesthetics and function. 100 Candleholders is on view at Blunk Space through March 28. — "Acacia Melanoxylon, a sturdy tree found along the coast of Marin, is close in spirit and biological behavior to our internal melatonin rhythm. Let these three sleepy sisters bring dreamy low light into the evening, materializing melatonin for a restorative repose." Niles Wertz Melatonin Matrons, 2025 Acacia Melanoxylon Small: 4 x 3 x 3 inches Medium: 4 x 3.5 x 3.5 inches Large: 6 x 5 x 4.5 inches (@niles.w ) "I carved the candlestick from a raw piece of wood with carving tools and knives. By not turning the form on a lathe, or laying out rigid symmetrical outlines, I allowed a subtle asymmetry to take shape. I wanted the piece to be reminiscent of a classical form, while also embracing an organic, whimsical free-ness." Noah Cohen Pear Candlestick, 2025 Air dried orchard pear 11 1/4 x 3 x 3 inches 28.6 x 7.6 x 7.6 cm (@noah_customla ) "I painted a candleholder from 40,000 years ago." Peter McDonald Candleholder, 2025 Acrylic gouache on matchbox 1 3/8 x 2 1/8 x 5/8 inches 3.5 x 5.5 x 1.5 cm (@peter_mcdonald_ ) "I played around with a set of shapes taken from my drawings and paintings. Using colored acrylic allowed me to play around with various color combinations." Rachel Kaye A Series of Shapes (4 candle holders), 2025 Acrylic Each approx: 6 x 4 x 4 inches 15.2 x 10.2 x 10.2 cm (@ray_ray_kaye ) "JB Blunk’s work resonates with me, and this object is my way of subtly connecting with it."

Noah Cohen approaches woodworking with a reverence for material and proportion. Trained in the lineage of James Krenov, he allows grain, density, and structure to guide form, insisting that even unseen elements deserve care and beauty. Noah Cohen
Standing Mirror, 2025
Chinese elm, mirror, brass, egg tempera paint
64 x 19 x 16 in (163 x 48 x 41 cm) Standing Mirror is both furniture and quiet architecture. The elongated frame rises from a grounded base, its red egg tempera surface amplifying the warmth of the Chinese elm beneath. The proportions feel deliberate yet human, slightly intimate, slightly devotional. Brass hardware punctuates the structure without interrupting its calm. The mirror reflects the space around it, but the object itself holds presence independent of function. Cohen’s practice resists impersonal fabrication. Each surface carries the trace of hand tools, subtle irregularities that affirm touch over automation. In a landscape increasingly shaped by algorithms and mechanical precision, the work insists on the dignity of the handmade. @noah_customla #noahcohen On view in Infinite Planes High

A pair of stacked side tables in figured White Oak for Neal Thomas Enterprises. We sawed the veneer in house and meticulously laid out the continuous slip match. I love the subtle way the veneer thickness is expressed at the edges. Excited to see how this oaks luster deepens with time and use. Design by @ian__felton 📷 @johann.mun
