History

Established in 2004.

Frankenstein stands as a metaphor for our work. Created from discarded, overlooked parts, it was not until his creator saw the potential in assembling those disparate parts in a new way, and then animated by that mystical spark, that Frankenstein came to life. He is not unlike so many of the projects we accept, challenged with making something from nothing. Enlivening a place with limited means and from ordinary materials used unconventionally to elevate it beyond what is expected.
