A colour montage of
Arum Lilies and foliage abstracted into an Art Deco stylised form.
The strong movement of the leaves contrasts with the still serenity
of the waxy flowers. The dark black and grey background veneers
combine with the foliage creating depth and cohesion to the
composition.
Medium: Marquetry
using 10 different veneers including bolivar, birdseye, ripple
anegre and koto.
Design and process
are very contemporary. Laser cut, dyed and natural veneers are
assembled, reverso, onto clear self-adhesive film before being
bonded to the chosen substrate to then be sanded, polished and
assembled onto the form or substrate selected.
Created by like a 'jigsaw puzzle' this image contains approx 200
individually cut pieces of dyed and natural wood veneers. The
veneers are carefully selected from standard ranges produced in
Italy and are chosen for their particular suitability of grain and
shade that best represents the natural form I want to portray.
