A lucky girl gets to collaborate with Michael Kehs, but when he asks you to work with him on an unfinished Ray Key piece, well, that's a new level of happy.
We had such a great time figuring out how to honor Key's "less is more" aesthetic with our "more is almost enough" ideas. Michael sandblasted it to open the grain and made a wonderful top that emulates Key's reknown forms, infused with his personal artistic sizzle. Then I got to color the piece with layers of black liming followed by intense coloring on the top, draining into the original form.
