- Perched amid thirty-three acres of redwoods, two miles inland from the remote Mendocino Coast in Northern California, Salmon Creek Farm is a place like few others. Originally established as a countercultural commune in the early 1970s, today it exists as a kind of communal, longterm, living art project – a queered commune, farm, and homestead, open to artists and others curious to its potentials.
- On June 4, 2020 – in the week following the murder of George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer – Salmon Creek Farm’s current custodian, the architect and artist Fritz Haeg, posted a callout to social media offering one of the farm’s cabins as a sanctuary for BIPOC artists, with no expectations, expenses or obligations.
- The photographs that arose from Los Angeles-based artist Lenard Smith’s time on the land the following month – the same images that populate Refuge, Smith’s second book for Perimeter Editions – sway with a kind of gentle, arcane atmosphere unique to their setting. Lush, dense greenery fills several frames, bracketing quietly monumental renderings of Salmon Creek Farm’s timber cabins and other peripheral structures. Elsewhere, Smith’s affinity for low-key surrealism and the still life play out in arrangements of books, tools, keepsakes, and objects gathered from the land. Gestures toward histories of the African diaspora and Black resilience intersect with spirituality and nature. A self-portrait titled Runaway Slave sees Smith in monochrome, a bindle on his shoulder as he traipses through tangles of undergrowth. Alex Haley’s 1976 novel Roots and Angela Davis’s seminal 1971 treatise If They Come in the Morning each appear in still life, echoing both the pain of the moment and the history that preceded it.
- But even with such bearings and signposts, Smith’s images prove open, dialogic, and free – they are unlikely conversationalists. In a prescriptive sense, this book is about neither Salmon Creek Farm nor the socio-cultural context, but it is little without them. Refuge is about an artist being given the space to live freely, to think, and make, and play. It is about safety, and the richness of introspection, solemnity, reflection, and creativity that it affords – a richness that so many of us take for granted.

Perfect in Eery Way
Color: Black
This monitor stand is worth every penny. I thought it was a bit pricey at first, but the quality is top notch. Made of real wood not pressed board, was easy to assemble and maximized my space. Having the drawers was a bonus to keep small items organized. The height is sufficient to slide books, papers and such underneath. Top shelf is long enough to not only hold dual monitors but also a few decorative items. It’s also just right for a 43” wide desk but not so wide that it eats up your keyboard or writing surface.

Pretty good for the price
Color: Brown
Honestly great quality from what it came in and I love how affordable it is. Though my one complaint is that they don't have rubber tabs underneath the legs so it just slides off pretty easily but other than that being an easy fix it"s not bad assembly was easy and it freed up a lot of room on my desk

Original review:
Received it today, packaging and everything seemed perfect. Looked over all the pieces and they seemed OK. Took a bit to assemble but not bad.
The design and construction are great. It looks awesome for my setup as you can see in pics. Really love this, or at least what it's supposed to be if everything was perfect. However, once assembled, upon closer look, I was just so disappointed. I just couldn't believe it. The bottom shelf on the left side is pretty messed up (refer to pics). Also on the right side but not quite as noticeable. Not sure what to do here, I don't think I can deal with this especially at the $100 price point. If it was in the back, I wouldn't care too much. But of course it's right in the very front just staring at me lol... I'm pretty bummed out, probably returning this unfortunately.
