ABOUT
After 22 winters on the east coast, Rafi made his escape. Following a love of all that is wild, he settled into Northern California, where he has made his home and practice. Learning first to sew from his artist mother, he has been making things and them apart as long as he can remember.
Rafi works in wood, glass, and metal. He lives and works in Berkeley, California with his wife, two sons, and two dogs.
Rafi’s practice begins by asking questions, with a curiosity into raw materials and their object potential. Rafi look for situations that lead to discoveries that lead to process, always seeking the balance of edge and grace.
