    I respect Deek’s work and his incorporation of “found objects” but the dude is SERIOUSLY into coffin-sized spaces! Wha’s up wid dat? Everytime that I’d crawl into one of his “shacks” (to use his phrase), I’d feel as if I were going to get an MRI scan, of which I’ve had a few. 🙁 Again, I respect the serendipity but not the Polly Pocket-sized space; my tree house as a kid had more square footage! Is Deek allergic to sq.footage in the triple digits? LOL
