March 20 - May 22, 2016 - Both beautiful and inspiring in its presentation of craft and design, this exhibition is an intimate look into the life and work of Thos. Moser. Moser is a first-generation furniture maker who turned away from a tenured professorship and learned his craft by deconstructing and reconstructing existent furniture, then reinventing it through his reductive aesthetic as he came into his own as a maker of fine furniture. Moser also understands fine craft as a spiritual endeavor and infuses his objects with his own sense of grace and form that align with functionality. This exhibition features a wide variety of furnishings including chairs, tables, bureaus, desks, and cases. There is a great emphasis on process including tools, works in process, black-and-white photographs, and a video.
