Concept

Commonplace objects that are often unnoticed are a primary focus of my work.

The cabinet on stand, titled Bones, explores two large man-made structures that are frequently seen within the architectural landscape while traveling on highways. With the doors closed the front view of the cabinet echoes the form of a steel billboard. The silhouette of the pale marquetry images surrounded by black illustrate an electrical tower. The image is expanded when the doors are open, becoming more dominant than the cabinet’s physical form. The carcass is constructed of solid hard Maple which references the mass of the form and pale color of a skeleton.
