You will enjoy seeing Trippin’ Up, Jay Stanger’s 1993 piece at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City, and reading what he has to say about it. His approach opens my mind to studio furniture that playfully integrates function with sculpture in a way that I find enchanting – an unexpected affect…

[To view Jay Stanger's remarkable contemporary marquetry sculptures you can visit his Modern Methods website here. I'll be away for a few days. When I return I'll do a couple of posts on two artists who are creating contemporary studio furniture and sculptural marquetry: William Tunberg and Toby Winteringham. Its OK to jump ahead, you're in for a treat!]
