By the numbers, this cabinet’s doors are constructed from 728 individual pieces of Fiddleback Tasmanian Blackwood inlaid with 182 Huon Pine dots. On the surface this reads as a geometric pattern, yet its structure is governed by counting, placement and accumulation. The field presents as ordered and resolved, while quietly holding the logic of its making. The work does not reveal its system outright.

“This cabinet is an example of Encoded Systems – the idea that information can be held within a field and not immediately legible. The repetition and variation can be interpreted to suggest something more than what is seen at first glance.”
