His ongoing series: Machines for Living are built intentionally to help us examine our lives and evoke memories, though insight and humor. A native of Boston, Baker moved to San Francisco ten years ago. He has been producing art in different mediums for the past 15 years; in 1991 he settled on assemblage sculpture, perhaps latently influenced by a boyhood passion for collecting shelf after shelf of what his mother called "junk". His background includes exhibit design at the Cleveland Museum of Art; art instructor; bird house entrepreneur; and a stint as a sales clerk in a large department store. His education includes extensive travel abroad and a Masters degree in Medieval Art History from the Courtauld Institute of Art, London, England. Baker works as an advertising copywriter by day. www.Paulbakersculpture.com About FLOAT: FLOAT, Floatation Center – Art Gallery is the only floatation center & art gallery in the San Francisco Bay Area, floatation therapy is a unique and powerful tool that allows you to shut out the world, and drift into the deepest possible level of physical and mental relaxation.
