BOLDER POLISHING

While working on a project at the Salina Art Center in 2006, he met Heather Farrell, the art center executive director, and Jeff Day, Professor of Architecture at the University of Nebraska Lincoln... He demonstrated in 2014 at the World of Concrete trade show in Las Vegas, the world's largest gathering of its kind. It's where he met another collaborator, Rachel Bruce, who now owns and operates Floor Maps, Inc. of Rogers, Arkansas... "She was installing a map on a polished concrete floor, something that caught my eye," Vancil said. "I talked to her a little bit, having no idea I'd be creating stuff with her, like I'm doing today."
