Marking(s); notes: signed
Country of origin; materials: USA; African Mozambique wood, glass, Plexiglas
Dimensions (H, W, D): base:16"h, 41"w, 25.5"d; glass top: 59.5"w, 44.5"d
Additional Information: The table was created on a gallery commission in 1984. "A commission designed to complement a U-shaped couch in a private home, the core of the table is the pedestal, laminated and carved from solid African Mozambique. It leans at a rakish angle, supported by a Plexiglas base, whose transparency enhances the impression that the pedestal is falling. A glass top allows the viewer to see the dynamics at play. The organic shape and flair is reminiscent of a large, aquatic creature cavorting in the water." - michaelcoffeysculptor.com
