For so many, classical Chinese furniture is inspiring in its perfection. For me, perfection is the Chinese circular, sinuous-legged ceremonial table, usually thought of as a plant stand. This is where I started my design. It evolved to a five-legged, classical Doric column-inspired jewelry chest. There are six doors, fifteen drawers, and eight shelves. I was winging it all the way. This went beyond fun.

"Once a year, I create work that pushes my boundaries, that evolves my sense of the beauty inherent in craft. 'Bleached Ice' is it."
