“The inspiration from the Studio is everywhere. The batturement: walk it as far as it goes and be amazed. The river: sit and never want for looking. The ships: peruse their industrial majesty. The forest, at day and night: alive with sound and activity and awe-inspiring post-storm geometry and paradigm. There is no shortage of source for inspiration. For me, the tranquility and interaction of the forest, the ships and their ants, the river that I love to tears. Everything I needed was here.” – Jason Chaffin
