Edward Pine Stevens was born in Brooklyn, NY and currently lives in Los Angeles where he makes furniture and sculpture. He received his BA from Vassar College where he created a multi-disciplinary liberal arts curriculum combining the study of social science research methods with philosophy and studio art practices. His experiences in industrial design, along with his work in architectural fabrication, inform his choice of salvaged wood as a primary medium.
Ed makes objects that are composed of distinct parts to encourage users and makers to evaluate and explore how things are made. By celebrating the intimate relationships between the materials that make up functional objects Ed investigates how different approaches to joinery and construction affect larger relationships between people and natural resources, and between labor and product.
