| Description: |
Through beautiful photographs and intelligent writing, this fourth
volume in the "Furniture Studio" series reports on the ways that
contemporary studio-furniture artists are responding to material
challenges such as the scarcity of exotic timber due to rain forest
depletion, the subsequent explorations of the uses of metal, plastic,
glass, and stone, and the increase in new functions realized by digital
processes. Aiming to bridge the gaps between individual furniture
makers, designers, scholars, and consumers, this forum for the
discussion of meaning and content through a variety of formats includes
an award-winning photographic portfolio by Judy Kenslie McKie, an essay
showing how contemporary sculptors use furniture as metaphor, a photo
essay on drawing, and a memoir by a leading artist that explains how
she broke into new design realms by altering the established rules.
Additional exhibition reviews include the furniture art of Roy McMakin,
a juried portfolio of student work, and a look at the cutting-edge San
Diego school led by Wendy Maruyama.
