Leaners: The Leaner series was started in 2013 and is still active. Falling in love with the leaning object; the Leaners are in reference to John McCracken’s Planks, Anne Truitt’s standing sculptures, the slabs of wood leaning at the wood store, and vintage wooden surfboards leaning against a wall. The Leaners are simply beautiful pieces of wood gently leaning against the wall. The wood grain is juxtaposed against color fields and pin stripes. The color fields and pin-stripes are taken from various sources within industrial design and luxury fashion that I have documented over time. The edges are mitered at 45 degrees to create an illusion of thickness (Synthetic vs Nature)
