Beginning in 2009, Currier has collaborated with Boston Valley Terra Cotta to create unique ceramic tiles for interior walls. Her first commission, La Stanza di Linea, is a 14 x 40-foot wall in the Choral Room in the Miller Performing Arts Center at Alfred University. Incorporating three different tiles to create the pattern, the tiles were mounted to the wall utilizing Boston Valley’s unique clip system. Next, BKSK, the architectural firm that designed 688 Broadway, a 14-unit luxury apartment building in New York City’s NOHO neighborhood, chose one of Currier’s Boston Valley Terra Cotta tiles for installation in the entryway.

Close to 70 percent of the country’s private-sector employees are provided medical benefits through their employers. It’s one of the major perks that alternative workers lose out on. It’s also one of the most complicated aspects of self-employment to figure out. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that passed at the end of 2017 did away with the individual mandate, meaning you’ll no longer have to pay a fine for opting out of health insurance. But as a sole business owner, you’ll only be increasing your headache if a serious illness or injury keeps you from working—and you have to pay substantial health care bills. Quick tip: The most common ways independent contractors get health insurance is through their spouses or domestic partners or the Affordable Care Act’s marketplace (organizations like the national nonprofit Freelancers Union can help you navigate the options).

Both of Napoli’s teaching jobs were part time, and neither came with benefits, so he’s been supplementing his income by building a consulting business. “The biggest challenge has been finding enough work to provide the same financial support for my family,” he says. He sustained a 10 percent pay cut when he followed his light-bulb moment into the gig world, but inconsistent work has resulted in a 50 percent hit in some months. “It’s a lot of conversations at this point—little dribs and drabs of work,” he says of the consulting business, but he’s optimistic about the future. He’s also ecstatic about the change in his commute: Napoli us ed to drive about three hours a day to and from his full-time job. Now he hops out of bed and gets right to work from his home office in Arvada. His twice-weekly trek to General Assembly? About 60 minutes round-trip.

“Currier’s sculpture is both a study in balance and an invitation to discovery,” said Nancy Weekly, exhibition curator. As she has stated, her Anamorphosis series reflects, “the interplay of masses and voids. Absence and presence, light and shadow, stasis and motion are subject matter. The dimensional tension and dynamics of human figures found in Greek and Buddhist temple pediments, and most recently, the structural flatness and synthesis of planar shapes in Cubist still-life paintings intrigue me.”
