A note from Giovanni
COME AS YOU ARE.LEAVE WITH A STORY.
I built this gallery with my own hands, from steel others threw away. When you visit, I'll show you the stories inside each piece myself.
No ticket counter. No guided audio. Bring your questions, bring your family—the coffee is always on.
“The steel stayed with me through everything. Now I make things that will stand long after I'm gone.”
Giovanni Abath

REACH OUT
