Midwestern values take shape in the work by Nathan Pierce. Raised by a true craftsman, Pierce appreciates the precision necessary to work with structural steel. He makes it look easy to craft architectural details while still conveying a message.

Do we really convey a message, or the message intended, when we use the numerous devices at the tips of our fingers? It would be wonderful to sit in on a conversation between Marshall McLuhan and Nathan Pierce.
