A LOOK INSIDE AN AMAZING LOFT
New York magazine has a feature on the top-floor loft that light artist Grimanesa Amorós shares with her husband, William Grant Fleischer, and daughter Shammiel on Hudson and N. Moore. (Her work is amazing.) From Curbed: “’The brick walls were covered with thick layers of plaster and many coats of paint, and the floor was covered in cement,’ Amorós recalls. ‘People were in here with jackhammers for ten days because there was so much. The wood underneath was very well protected by black paper and tar and more paper.’ The tin ceiling, in disrepair, was removed to reveal the wooden beams.”
