Russ Fogle is an artist and studio furniture maker working at the intersection of traditional craft and industrial technology. Influenced by an early career in engineering (BS Mechanical Engineering, The Ohio State University, 2013), and many months spent sleeping on the ground (Pacific Crest Trail, 2016), his current efforts work toward situating the vast, messy web of technological achievement underpinning human culture as an emergent natural phenomenon not dissimilar to the texture of a rock.
He is currently pursuing an MFA in Furniture Design at the Rhode Island School of Design.
