Tributary Dining Table No. 1

The Tributary motif is about headwaters and braided streams and also about the nature of tribute, the channeling of materials and processes into something contributory. The works are anchoring, monumental, and express movement between elements both navigable and rough, high plateaus and shallow estuaries. The Tributary Dining Table is an exploration realized in two cast bronze blades. Arranged in a perpendicular disposition, the bases each split at one end into an open cuff of brightened bronze and support a solid oak or black walnut top.
