Chrysochroa Table
Unusual custom request!
Lots of problem solving and experimenting went into this piece. I made several samples and models to clarify the process and jigs to match fit the walnut, beech and maple.
Mixed media includes: legs- sculpted polystyrene and fiberglass matte over a metal armature; body- book-matched black walnut, curly beech; thorax- bird's-eye maple; head and eyes- carved bass-wood, dichroic glass cabachons and onyx beads; antennae- form-bent and carved walnut veneer layers. Iridescence is achieved by air-brushing metallic and interference paints.
Material: mixed-media
Dimensions (h x w x d): 18" x 54" x 24"
Year Made: 2010
