Honey Ramka is pleased to present Permanent Collection, an exhibition by Stephen Eakin. As Eakin explains: "I work with traditional Shaker furniture forms, though I take liberties with these forms that the Shakers would not. They interest me in that, through their work, they became responsible for some of the fundamentals of contemporary object making, such as the invention of the circular saw. Their deep investment in the labor of object making, a labor that is either removed or outsourced by many contemporary artists and makers, seems an important vantage point to understanding how we relate to objects."
