The Space video crew and I trampled into the Oak Park home of artist Laurie Freivogel on a slushy afternoon, and, being the polite and refined humans that we are, asked if we should take off our shoes. Freivogel warned us not to, though—there might be shards of glass everywhere. Moments later, a member of the team accidentally broke one of her bowls, blowing the whole polite-and-refined act. Still, I swear there were shards of glass scattered around before that happened.
The house feels organized and spacious. And the massive artwork collection is only bound to grow. “I just like stuff,” Freivogel says. “There’s always room for one more thing, which is awesome.”
