At home in Northwest Woods, Setha Low paused for a moment of respite between her two busy careers. Setha Low: Embracing the Other

Managing one career at a time is enough for most people, but not for Setha Low. After receiving her Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1976, she established herself as a leading scholar and researcher in the field of cultural anthropology, focusing on the politics of public spaces, their increasing privatization, and the need to preserve diversity in their use.

Dan Welden examined a portfolio of Solarplate prints in his mezzanine studio in Noyac. The Multitalented Mr. Welden

During a recent conversation at his house and studio on seven wooded acres in Noyac, Dan Welden said, “ ‘Master printmaker’ is a touchy title for me,’ I know printmaking pretty well now, but every so often it will throw me for a bit of a loop. I like the idea that I don’t feel totally secure in any one thing. If somebody knows it all, then they might be considered a master. But that word ‘master’ prevents you from learning more, it puts a ceiling on things.” Little wonder, then, that the ceiling of his great room soars 30 feet.

Irina Ourusoff has become an artist in her retirement, and has now added building dollhouses to her repertoire. She builds them from scratch, decorates them just as an interior designer would design a real-life house, and fills them with handmade furniture, below. House Proud: An East Hampton Artist in Miniatures

There are tiny cabinets, hand-made with care. Bathtubs are repurposed soap dishes, and hand-cut curtains adorn the windows. Much of the furniture is fashioned by hand, with the exception of chairs — chairs are too time-consuming and tough for her hands to handle, seasoned as those hands may be.
