• Damien Hoar de Galvan Puzzles Scraps of Reclaimed Wood for a Daily Sculpture Project (thisiscolossal.com) — A Milton-based artist has been quietly creating a small wood sculpture every day from his home studio, turning reclaimed scraps into colorful, puzzle-like pieces. His yearlong project, begun in early 2024, led to a major ICA Boston exhibition and new international shows, all rooted in the disciplined routine he developed just outside Boston.
