I wanted to create an open shelving system for my home office.

Wall mounted display cases – THREE TWO ONE HORIZONTAL

I wanted it to be distinctive and imaginative, to

have presence and character.

Floor mounted display case – GOING UP

I wanted it to stand out, capture my attention

and draw me in, even if the shelves were empty.

I wanted it to be compelling.

Wall mounted display cases – Half and Quarter Turns

I planned to stage the shelves with heartfelt objects that

connected me to joy, gratitude, love, wonder – what Joseph

Campbell called “the rapture of life”.

Wall mounted display cases – ONE TWO THREE

I did not set out to build a “better” display case.

Wall mounted display cases – FOUR FOURS HORIZONTAL

I set out to create a powerful experience.

Wall mounted display cases – GOLDILOCKS

“The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see,

the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of

his or her heart.“

— John Eldredge

Wall mounted display cases – THE BIG SHOW X 2 CONNECTED

In a display case home for my art, books, mementos,

saved objects, I wanted an experience that both reminded

and celebrated the journeys of my heart.
