Hide Profile

Bruce Sherman was skilled at cabinetry and design, using innovative techniques for framing glass and wood. He was acquainted with the prominent artist/sculptor Ruth Asawa and her husband, architect Albert Lanier, also residents of Noe Valley in San Francisco. Through them, Bruce found work at Hoffer Glass Company south of Market. Bruce's window-framing work was sculptural, in that it involved many-faceted shapes, with deceptively simple-looking hexagonal or octagonal features. A culmination of this work was his scale-model of R. Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome. Bruce had met Fuller through Ruth Asawa.
