Framed recently for the New York Botanical Garden’s Flower Power exhibition: a Corita Kent screenprint that brings together her unmistakable graphic language with themes of protest, community, and the natural world.

Seen here floating in a simple natural maple frame to keep the focus on the work itself.

Such a wonderful night celebrating the legacy of Gordon Parks and 20 years of ! We are so honored to help play a part in preserving this amazing work ❤️

A piece in the studio recently by Violet Dennison. Seen here in a powder coated white welded aluminum frame.

Violet Dennison’s paintings move fast, embracing fragmentation, speed, and the visual language of the screen. Working through an iterative process that spans digital and physical space, her compositions often feel interrupted, layered, and in flux.

Dennison (b. 1989) has exhibited widely, with recent solo shows at Tara Downs, Theta, and Jan Kaps, and group exhibitions including the New Museum Triennial and presentations with Bortolami.

A simple and time-tested method for holding a photograph in place.

Corners folded from cotton rag drawing paper are secured with tyvek tape, burnished carefully into the backing. The photograph rests inside the pockets, safely supported without any adhesive touching the print.

Berenice Abbott’s photographs of New York were deliberate acts of preservation. In the 1930s she documented the city’s built environment with precision and restraint, insisting on photography as record rather than embellishment.

Between 1935 and 1939 she undertook Changing New York, a federally funded project to systematically survey the city’s architecture as it rapidly transformed. Her view of the Flatiron Building remains one of the defining images from that effort.

A light-filled space for thoughtful decisions and careful looking in our Brooklyn design studio.

This photograph comes from Gordon Parks’ Segregation in the South series, made in Alabama in 1956 and published in LIFE. Working in color and with remarkable intimacy, Parks focused on daily life—children, families, and domestic spaces. His images remind us how ordinary lives continue, with dignity, resistance, and care, even when systems of power are built to exclude.
