Jeffrey Stahl, Coke Mirror, 2020 This piece was inspired by the aura of habit forming objects and their involvement in the ritual of addiction. I have been battling drug addiction for the past year and have found that my habits and self-destructive behavior have been linked to the glamour and ritual of using a mirror…

During the months of confinement in 2020, the number of deaths from Covid 19 increased dramatically every day around the world. One of the most poignant images to frame my memory and go around the world like so many others was New York City’s Mass Graveyard on Hart Island during the pandemic. The dead that…

For my project working with a laser cut kerf pattern I attempted to make a tube shaped container for holding dice used in Dungeons and Dragons. I wanted to create several flat peices that could be joined together and assembled into the tube container by using a kerf pattern I designed based on the different…
