Beyond Vernacular

These images are some in progress shots of a body of work I recently completed titled 
Beyond Vernacular . This series set out to explore the language of simple materials and simple form, using know furniture design languages and up-cycled barn siding for most of the new works. The series also uses the lace runner or doily as a point of departure and narrative element in the work. The series of six new pieces and two older works from 2009 are currently on display at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Portland, Maine through January 2012. More shots of the works in the gallery and shots of collaborator Matt Hutton's wall-hung works are forthcoming.
