Home Grown by Raylene Gorum, Owen Laine, and Phil Spitler from Oakland CA Home Grown is a kaleidoscopic spiraling shell crafted from heavy timber and layers of pattern, color, and light. The outer skin plays with shadow and moiré interference patterns while the inner core is wrapped in a stained glass-like skin. As one moves inward, a third layer of the color story reveals itself along the inner surface of the structure. It’s a play between the muscularity of the framing and the delicate dancing radiance of this inner sanctuary. Like the humble snail, we search for ways to carry our sanctuary with us. The spiraling shell shows how we too can transform our barriers into windows of beauty. We’re reminded that even our hardest shells can become translucent, letting others’ light in while sharing our own glow.
