Sawkill Lumber

Images of empty restaurants - taken before Covid-19 - don’t resonate the same today - where the mood seems closer to the sublime disease prone cypress swamps of the 1800’s, where to haunting staccato
echo of the ivory billed woodpecker cut through the silence. Torst restaurant - by HoME NYC- features old growth swamp cypress as decorative walls classing and tables, adding texture and tonal variation to the interior design.

Stay at home orders with nearby excursions may be the best homage and reclamation for the earth, at least this year. This recent piece in the NY Times
Provides a good overview of the promise and pitfalls for the environment in the current pandemic.
