Separate boards and planes helped him rethink how a chair or a room could be put together.

Materials, marks and colour

Artist-wide context; individual works may differ.

Media and surface

Wooden components and joints make construction readable.

Marks and structure

Separate lines and planes let space continue through a chair or room.

Palette and light

Red, blue, yellow and neutrals distinguish parts rather than imitate natural colour.
