“The most meaningful way to preserve this house is not to freeze it in time, but to keep it alive.” Mariah Nielson ( @mariah_nielson ) grew up in the Inverness home her father, JB Blunk, built by hand, a place where sculpture, furniture, ceramics, architecture, music, meals, family, and work existed within the same evolving space. Today, as curator of the JB Blunk Estate ( @jbblunkestate ), Nielson is steward of both her father’s work and a house that remains very much alive. In our latest Creative Landscapes: California conversation, she reflects on growing up inside a creative practice, the landscape that shaped the house, and what it means to carry a creative legacy forward.
