The Artwork of Matt Hausmann

We recently had the chance to meet and see some of Matt Haussmann's fine sculptural work over in Oak Hill NY.

Using highly skilled woodworking technique and materials re-destined from past uses, Hausmann crafts neo mechanical electronic circuit board of synapses in woodgrain with a William Gibson vernacular of technological cobbling and futuristic form... it's real cool!

Strange and ancient looking stone structures found on artist Jim Sullivan's Schoharie County NY property... are they inspired by Irish stone hut structures, particularly beehive huts or clocháns?  Theunique dry-stone constructions, often found in the southwest of Ireland, including the Dingle Peninsula.  These structures are characterized by their distinctive beehive shape, built using corbelled stone techniques without mortar. They were likely used as monastic cells, shelters, or secular dwellings, with some dating back to the early medieval period.

 

EXCITING NEWS! We're Back!

 Dear loyal and enthusiastic Farmhouse Punk reader, it has recently come to our attention that the 

worldwide plague that has shutdown cultural, social & working life as we've known it is finally over! 

The Newnormal has reverted back to Oldnormal... mostly and it couldn't have come sooner.

Actually truth be told this happened it happened a while ago but since we've been living deep underground in an undisclosed cave like place we just found out.....

Stand by for a renewed FHP blog as we're once again back a'pecin 'da keyboard!

 On an update of a previous post the Flick-Smart estate in Westkill NY is again on the market.

The sellers hope the hipster black paint on the asbestos siding and Birchfield lite wallpaper + Ikeaesque furnishings will lure (fishing pun) a new generation of well heeled neo-homesteaders.

The zany price history's lofty aspirations of windfall profits as the remote work from farmhouse crowd scoured the countryside for suitable lairs...

let's dig in to those numbers!

2001  sold for $53,000 

by 2010 they were ready to cash out and listed it for 

$175,000 but no takers... they had to tough it out for another 

seven years until in  2017  they found some new dreamers with $154,000

now eight years later those folks are ready to hit the road and are offering this 

hip lifestyle lodge for a whopping $799,000 ! 

we say good luck buddies!
