The PEX tubing is laid out on the re-mesh frame (it's tied in using copper rebar ties).  Hot water (125 degrees or so) circulates through five different circuits that feed into a manifold located in the laundry room:


The future site of the manifold:

Johnson Village study #1  : pastel on paper : 18" x 24"



Plumbing going into the compacted foundation; a critical step before the slab is poured





"Untitled"

the newness—the anonymity in this place. 
we rush and then pause
under reddening clouds, granite pink,
a staccato of motion and sound. 
the dark arrives lazily and we are just voices
in a child’s dream.  feelings and friendships and stories
float above us like neon signage;
our dance unravels and we disperse as if after a funeral.
