In an ongoing series of photographs where Laura and Tina share their “working table” here is this week’s work in progress:

Tina's Working Table

Tina’s Working Table Notes:

I wanted to highlight this flat file case my Dad, Terry Hirsig, made me many years ago.  I asked for a simple case to hold my art supplies and he surprised me with this beauty!  I have used it for about ten years now and is an indispensable part of my art practice for organizing and keeping my collections, papers, old sketchbooks, and art supplies. I opened one drawer to show you the vintage and ephemeral objects my parents (who are antique dealers) have given me as well as objects I have collected along my travels.  I don’t look forward to moving all these items into my new studio in about a month, but am very fortunate to have this piece of furniture nonetheless!

Laura’s Working Table Notes:

I have been working on and off on this piece for a few weeks now and almost have it figured out. It has been a constant play of getting the collage elements “just so.” I will share the finished piece and the text that goes with the numbers you see later in the week.
