Loring Cornish lives on a quiet sidestreet near Druid Park in Baltimore. The block, like those around it, is filled with nearly identical rowhouses. Loring's house would be just like those of his neighbors, except he has transformed it completely, covering the walls, both inside and outside, as well as the floors and ceilings, with his mosaics, paintings, and sculptures.
In this piece, he gives a tour of his home. In the process, he shares some of his unusual life story and world view. He offers insight into what fuels his creativity, and decribes how he has found meaning and fulfillment.
