To create From the Making of a House, Ericson and Ziegler asked a neighbor to save all of the off-cuts from a homebuilding project near their studio in Milanville, Pennsylvania. The presentation of the wood is reminiscent of many post-minimal sculptures from the 1970s. This piece was the last work completed by Ericson and Ziegler before Kate Ericson’s death in 1995.
