A selection of Zev Eisenberg's photos from the Machias class

The tricycle, not completed but assembled for a photograph. The handlebars and front wheel belong to a motorcycle, and the rear wheels, suspension, and engine to a Volkswagen Bug. The upholstery is also handmade, but not by Roger, as he has no training in upholstering. When he heard that a friend was teaching an upholstery class at a local prison, he presented the inmates with the challenge of upholstering his tricycle. They jumped at the opportunity, glad for an escape from the monotony of sofas and car seats. The photograph is clipped to Roger's tool box at Whitney's Tool Shed, which is covered with stickers, magnets, and other paraphernalia from Roger's former employers (as well as expressions of his values).
