That’s a wrap on BIG BOX!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who stepped into the world of Ringleader with us. Many of you brought friends, asked questions, and shared your thoughts — your curiosity and support truly makes Madison feel like a warm, welcoming home for our visiting artists. You’re the reason R&D feels like a community and not just a project.

Special thanks to Bee Gray @carabiner_size_queen for their beautiful writing and for trusting us to share it.

Stay tuned! More art, more hangs, and more reasons to come say hi are right around the corner.

Seven months of really hard work coming to a point.

On Sunday, I’ll do my first Ironman 70.3.

Excited to take everything I’ve built and go see what this body can do.

I’ve come to find endurance training as a kind of meditation ~ a place where I can leave my body and be only body at the same time.

For a few hours, you just have to move.

Gratitude to everyone who’s cheered me along the way~ for the encouragement, the check-ins, and letting me disappear for a few hours at a time. by @crispy_n_specific

Ringleader is a collaborative furniture project by @sneakywkend and me—born where sculpture, function, and irreverent joy collide.

A year of experiments, mistakes, late nights, and tiny victories. Endless puzzle pieces in a game of making that never really ends.

Join us Feb 22, 2–5pm at @epiphanyarts201 for the opening of SIDE SWIPE.
A full reveal of the work we built this past summer at @r.d.madison .

Poolie

steel, foam, paracord, metal hardware

Sparked from Noël’s wavy line—
the first thing we built together,
learning each other’s rhythms
through knots, welds,
and wobble.
