Leeds, England, 2016Painted mahogany and boxwoodApprox. 214 × 196 cm (when arranged in a crescent) A sculptural folding screen that transforms the art of marquetry into bold visual poetry. Bold I features four intricately crafted panels, where hand-cut veneers are arranged in precise geometric compositions. Squares and rectangles of contrasting tones create depth and rhythm, their sharp lines softened by flowing Seigaiha motifs — stylised Japanese waves — introducing movement and subtle variation. Meticulously made in painted mahogany and boxwood, this one-of-a-kind screen makes a striking centrepiece for interiors. Whether displayed flat or curved into a crescent, it radiates structure, elegance, and the timeless beauty of fine craftsmanship. Show more
