Studio Job

From a suite of five marquetry furnishings in Indian Rosewood and seventeen different brilliantly colored dyes used in creating inlays, made from a variety of wood types, including Tulipwood, Ash, Pama, Madrona Burl, Bird’s Eye Maple, Birch, and Red Gum, depending on the grains desired for each inlaid ‘icon’. The Triptych Mirror with its brightly-colored symmetrical, ‘book-matched’ inlays, depicts bountiful scenes of farm-life, including red barns and silos, horse corrals and dog houses, sunflowers, shafts of wheat, vegetables and luscious fruit-bearing trees which give shade to county-fair-worthy cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, and sheep, and the occasional mouse and blackbird. Moving across the flat, super-dense surfaces are the tools which keep such an active farm flourishing: tractors and oil drums and wheelbarrows and spades and shovels and brooms and saws and horseshoes. Above the tumult, bluebirds fly in a Rosewood sky.

This is No. 2 in a limited edition of 6. The higher numbers have never been produced.
