Marquetry and inlay are techniques of embedding one piece of wood into another to create a figure, like a leaf, flower or bird.
I often use marquetry or inlay techniques to communicate my vision for a work. I don't use the marquetry simply as an add-on embellishment but as a focal point for interpreting the work. The marquetry tells the story of what inspired me and what I hope inspires others.
Parquetry Parquetry is a geometric form of marquetry. I have used this technique as a means to explore and expand the interactions of light with figured wood, to explore optical illusions, and as a metaphor for life.
