As the head of creative construction, I am about to finish a two-plus year build out of a sculptural restaurant in the Lower East Side of New York City. Part of the job involves sourcing all the reclaimed wood, objects and lighting used in the project, a natural evolution of my wife Jarka’s and my booth at the Brooklyn flea. Our daughter is 11 and, besides selling her own wares at the flea, enjoys karate, trapeze, and singing at high volume. See also www.thestreetofgold.com.
