Mosaics reference architectural forms and patterns found in nature, combining a sense of the monumental and the intimate. They are inspired by the variations in plywood edge patterns, which are reminiscent of tree rings and the markings of different types of birds. The overall shapes draw from architectural and design history, suggesting arched doorways, brick walls, opaque mirrors, or buildings from above. They collapse surface and space, alternately implying a frontal or overhead view of familiar structures, although never resolving into one interpretation.
