recycled material

The ubiquitous and monotonous mailbox blights our cities and towns. This is my contribution to changing all that. Those old vacuum cleaners were design statements of their own—they need to be cherished! A sleek old deco Electrolux (even the name was cool) combined with a restaurant coffee maker embodies the “box.” About 100 lbs of tools and interesting hardware comprise the pedestal.

mahogany, curly maple, wenge, jarrah, imbuya, aluminum, Avonite®

This sculpture was an exercise in the exploration of combining intersecting planes and spheres, using wood, aluminum and a resin-based granite, and searching for a balanced proportion that would blend these materials and their geometric shapes. To emphasize the delineation between the wood and aluminum, I gave the aluminum’s leading edges a chrome-like polish and bead-blasted the adjacent faces.
