VOGTSMITH
is Andy Vogt and Sarah Smith, two
San Francisco-based artists who met
in the 90's while attending art school
in Pittsburgh and have been collaborating
ever since. Inspired by each other's
artwork, their combined sensibilities
in sculpture and painting merge to
create evocative, poetic, iconic sculptural
pieces.
Vogtsmith's preferred material is
salvaged wood. Found wherever an old
timber framed house is under construction
in the city, the strips of wood lath
that once held up a wall are collected
from the debris pile and given new
life with serious reverence. A love
of simplicity of form and a celebration
of the beauty of the raw material
can be seen and felt in all their
designs. All Vogtsmith Sculptural
Editions are made by Andy and Sarah
in their Mission District studio.
Each hand-crafted piece is unique.
