ARTIST CRAFT MONTH in NYC / SEPT 2023 – TOOLS
when you see ‘craft’ – ‘tools’ are not far behind.
in this case, the ‘tools’ are also, the hand-made / one-of-a-kind . . art.
JACOB GOBLE . . is a NYC-based painter, and museum . . . ‘mountmaker’.
he makes custom ‘mounts’ to hold up the historic, precious items that are going to be displayed
at the MET / The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
sometimes he has to fabricate the tools, as well as the mounts, themselves.

just in case,
you’re as curious, as I am, here’s a recent ‘museum mount’ he designed & fabricated for The Met:
@jacob__goble: “An early 15th Century Italian Jar and its ‘Earthquake’ mount. In the unfortunate event of seismic activity this mount will keep the jar from jangling around. / for: The MET / The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NYC.”
