We enjoyed meeting artist Gibby Waitzkin while she was preparing for her latest exhibition titled "Inside | Out" and are thrilled to see the final outcome!

Here are a few pieces from the show featuring an iron floor grate, salvaged iron railing, windows and a schoolhouse door found here at Black Dog Salvage.
