SCULPTURAL ILLUSIONS AT TGM
Artists Spencer Scott Staley and Zach Dougherty are mixing up science and art with visual objects and interventions. Using a 3-D scanning technique developed by Zach and intuitive experimentation by Spencer this styrofoam sculpture will trick your eyes!
The Good Mod is a place of productivity and exploration in the techniques and tools of digital fabrication.
CNC milled subtractive sculptural methods.
The nuances of form are accentuated by shadow. This play of light created by the recess in the styrofoam gives the illusion of the Bust protruding out.
Please contact us to visit the studio and talk with our Artists!

THE ARTWORK CYCLE
Artworks created by thirty homeless children and internationally acclaimed artists Chris Johanson and Johanna Jackson are taking on a new life. The initial artwork was made in Portland through the facilities of TMT Development, and in partnership with New Avenues for Youth.
The artwork entitled Billions and Billions of People is now being cut into size-able artworks for people to purchase for their homes. They will be auctioned off from New Avenues for Youth and The Good Mod was able to help this become a reality!
The panels once used to hide an embarrassing construction site were strategically cut down to form the new artworks.
The event features a DJ, signature cocktails, and Billions and Billions merchandise available for purchase. All proceeds benefit New Avenues for Youth’s services for foster, at-risk and homeless youth.

FRITZ HANSEN CHAIR RESTORATION
Our photographer took a few moments the other day to observe one of our craftsmen at work. Matt Dune Donnelly carefully prepped, sanded, + assembled these amazing Fritz Hansen dining chairs throughout an afternoon. The restoration process of these vintage pieces is a delicate + time consuming process, that requires a lot of thought and research. The final product however, is a piece of design history that has its original beauty in the spotlight once again.
