Drain, 2007











Drain, 2007

CVG Doug Fir and expansion joint (think sidewalk cracks).
30"x 32"x 4.5"

I've been taking photographs of industrial job-lots in Providence. This piece is a hybrid image of several storm drains and sewer grates. Clear Vertical Grain Doug Fir is the most prized variety of a very common construction wood. I executed some fairly delicate joinery with it and translated a similar amount of attention to the tarry fiber material.
