Tom Gall
TOTW Team
My choice for TOTW for September 15th, 2025 is “Carved Chaco Passages” by Jim Mclain.
Jim does a lot of excellent work, but the pieces in his Chaco series are my favorites … especially this one! He always uses contrasting textures and colors that come together to complement each other so well. I love the subtle coloring of the brickwork and the recessed windows. The relatively new element of the ‘missing bricks’ adds a new dimension to this series that I really like, and the bright turquoise is just the icing on the cake. Well done, Jim!
