"Bent and Squared" / 2023
ash wood and brass
8" x 21" x 41"
This work's title - "Bent and Squared" - not only refers to the physical processes used in its creation, but also the recurring cycle of trial and error endured while attempting so many new techniques in a single piece. From using bent lamination to create the curved legs, to fitting precise dovetails and casework, a wide range of woodworking knowledge was gathered from both the failures as well as the successes. All of that has culminated into a semester's worth of work in the form of a functional furniture piece, meant to be used and admired.
