Maker's statement
This body of work was done during a semester's teaching at University of Colorado, Boulder. The piece itself was a way of approaching a functional form without making it explicitly useful. In this case, I was working from the form of a table and wanted to make a play on the formal layout of this form-typology. The references are stock home improvement articles and late 1960's furniture
