I was an artist-in-residency at Brian and Florencia's loft and it proved to be the perfect place to get away and get inspired. The space is beautiful and comfortable - a truly unique apartment from the floors (made from bowling alleys) to the doors (from Rajasthan). Climbing the spiral staircase up and down from Brian's sculpture workshop to the loft each day was a treat. In a city changing as quickly as San Francisco, this is a special space - an artist's refuge at a time when such a thing is increasingly harder to find.
