"Carapace" cabinet is a sculptural wall piece that distills some of my
feelings about protection and safety, exposure vs. privacy. The strength
and peace we can find through our personalized and colorful
exoskeletons as well as the ultimate shield: invisibility.
Constructed of walnut and handmade paper, it contains various carapace-like objects
from nature.
An LED light inside shines softly through a
handmade paper-covered window
in the door that creates a
dramatic effect in a
darkened room.

I made this for a woman who wanted a small mirror on hinges so she could use the full-length mirror on the other wall to see her back. The space allotted was 14" x 14" and she asked that it be based on the Carapace Cabinet.
