Artwork Description
Michael Shuler alternated stripes of purple vermilion wood with layers of satinwood to create this colorful design. One hundred and four wedge-shaped segments of laminated wood were placed in a circle, cut into rings, then reassembled into a bowl form. By rotating the rings around the vessel, Shuler was able to create this vibrant zigzag pattern of contrasting colors.
