| This piece was made for exhibition in 1996 and was awarded amajor award in the Tweed Valley Arts Prize, highly commended in the Coffs Harbour Art & Craft Exhibition in that year, and best overall exhibit in the Northern Rivers wood work groups exhibition in Casino NSW. This table was inspired by both Japanese and Art Nouveau styles of furniture. I wanted to create a table where the top seemed to be floating and the flowers growing through it. The Arum Lily was my perfect choice with its simple lines. It helped create this illusion. The arch shapes to the rails and the cut away sections show that the top sits only on the tips completes this concept. I have a number of variations of this design in a range of timbers. |
