The idea was to make something easy to store, so I made a portfolio, so they can neatly fold up.
The inspiration or starting point was Shaker furniture, which has an aesthetic of simplicity, function and intentional lack of adornment.
There is a historic Shaker colony in Kentucky, I have visited several times, and my father, as a furniture maker has made me a few Shaker inspired pieces. Furniture of this sort, are images and icons I do feel I can claim and use in my personal work.
Working mono chromatically was a goal; keeping it all very simple was my other challenge as I can get pretty fancy.
They work as a set or individually.
