Frame and Panel Door, 2005

Frame and Panel Door is assembled using the traditional carpentry methods for making a solid wood door with each panel carefully fitted into its surrounding components. Here, however, the relationship of the door’s width and height have been inverted while maintaining a familiar proportion and orientation. Through a transfer of scale and material, this sculpture transforms a detail of architecture into a monument to the artistry of carpentry.
