Physical Description
Square, rectangular, and circular pieces of wood and formica are assembled in rectilinear, cabinet-like compartments. The entire object is painted black.
Subject Matter
Assembled from found pieces of wood and formica, the objects that make up the piece resonate between being subsumed into the purely abstract form and reminding the viewer of their one-time life as daily objects.
