Passion: Eitan Levy
Since I began intentionally focusing on my photography, one thought stands out in my mind a little bit more than others, 'Holy Shit, I know a lot of people who are doing really cool stuff.' In May, I was fortunate enough to travel to Venice, CA and watch one of those friends in action.
Near the corner of Venice and Lincoln Boulevards, one finds The Love Shack, an eclectic space of art, music, spirituality and bean bags. Parked at The Love Shack is a 40' Conex trailer and in the back third of this steel box, sits a man, Eitan Levy, hunched quietly over a table. Tools and drill bits and files litter the scuffed surface like the work space of some demented dentist. But this man is no dentist, he is a jeweler, a goldsmith.
"It's all just wires and sheets."
Take a handful of simple materials, a few small tools, thoughtful design, precise movement mix it up with a quiet, talented and humble man and what you get is pure beauty.
Thank you Eitan for allowing me into your space and showing me your process.
