Projects
The Johnson Atelier has a 50 year history of collaborating with artists to design, produce, and restore works of art. Find out about the exciting projects that we lead and contribute to here.
Hugh Hayden
THE DEEP AND UNKNOWABLE: Hayden approached JAD with the idea of fabricating a functional rowboat out of solid wood. Following the artist's specific and detailed instructions, JAD milled and hand-carved the hull of the 14-foot vessel out of oak; the skeletal, rib-like details out of cedar. "Gulf Stream" was then transported and installed on-site along the coast of Brooklyn.

Michele Oka Doner
200 YEARS OLD TIMES 2: "Wooden Benches" began with a digital scan of a hand-carved wooden driftwood bench from Doner's studio. This was then digitally placed into a scanned 200 year-old tulip poplar log and then CNC milled to produce two identical replicas.

Kiyan Williams
REALIZING AN ALTERNATE HISTORY: In "Ruins of Empire," artist Kiyan Williams reimagines the Statue of Freedom—a historic bronze monument atop the U.S. Capitol Building—as an earthen ruin of acrylic, steel and dirt. The work was commissioned by Public Art Fund as part of Black Atlantic at Brooklyn Bridge Park in New York City.
