Check out this article by Don Wilkinson for the Standard Times. Then come see Michael Pietragalla's beautiful handmade boxes at the Marion Art Center!
Don writes:
"For about the last five years, Pietragalla has been producing small boxes. He says he doesn’t design them. 'They just evolve.'
The boxes are born of the wood, be it walnut, mahogany spalted maple, or something else. There is a sensibility embraced that allows for the wood to determine its final form. Will the box have hinges or a lid, will it a lined interior or a secret compartment? Will it be masculine or feminine or both?"
