Ollin: A Spiral Line and Other Flights by Rosa de Anda


"This exhibition explores rhythmic, ritualistic effort and the recurring themes of movement, flight and fluidity. Ollin means ‘movement’ in the Meso American language of Nahuatl. The spiral is representative of the force of regeneration and is recognized in most cultures as a universal sacred symbol.

Love and hatred, ignorance and wisdom find balance in the spiral dance of life. This work is about examining structure + pattern + rhythm, the interruption of such, nuturing new ways of being, investigating all activity within the whorls of the life spiral. The materials I use to construct this visual investigation, rubber and wood, are from the tree…an element of nature that is life-giving. I feel strongly about using these recycled materials, allowing for another pattern of existence to emerge in present space and time."

Ocean Ladders by Joy Umali


Ocean Ladders is an installation of three ironically formed ladders. The ladders themselves are a symbol for progression and desire. In this form and environment, they represent one’s curiosity and ability to reach for their dreams. Partnered with the coming and going of the waves, the ladders trigger thoughts of fleeting moments, reaching for what one desires, and of constant movement in the artist's life.







The Bachelor by Audiowood


The Bachelor is named for its rich hues and sleek lines: think dark leather sofas and black Ferraris. It is constructed around a central piece of solid walnut burl, and has solid ebonized walnut legs. Its armboards are solid Gabon ebony, as are the decorative strips on top. The freestanding motor pod houses a new Premotec motor, and it is currently running with a vintage VPI PLC motor controller.

A unique feature of this table is that its armboards are installed using a single bolt, fixed from above. This design allows multiple armboards that can be installed in seconds.
Joel Scilley creates custom turntables from vintage and new parts incorporating his love for burlwood and other uncommon woods.

GLOW Audio




GLOW Audio
Tube Amplifiers and Loudspeakers that Sound
as Good as they Look


GLOW is simple, elegant, and timeless. They are a work of art that does not compromise but enhances the quality of sound. They minimized if not eliminated the uneccesary elements which results in a pure and realistic sound.


GLOW's amplifiers are hand built with the highest quality components. All amplifier transformers are hand wound and circuits are assembled using the point-to-point wiring method.

GLOW is also green striving away from the "disposable" consumer products. They use recycled and renewable materials such as bamboo and scrap wood. Their products are designed better, built better, look better and sound better than audio products costing much more.
