Chest


A tall, narrow wood structure stands upright against a white gallery wall, its surface showing the natural grain of light plywood. Embeded at the top left is a smaller, thinner wood panel with two knots that resemble nipples.
This rough and repurposed plywood and stud form has been amended with a small sheet of hickory veneer.  Leaned against the wall, the object approaches human scale and form; the knots of the hickory indicate anthropomorphic nipples as much as they offer an index for two branches that would once have grown at those sites.
