"Tall Table"

Wood Side Table

Created by John Boak
One of a Kind
The table was made from a remnant of a glue lam beam for the top. The legs are made from standing-dead aspen. These trees have been scoured by wind and snow, removing all the bark, and polishing the surface to a bone color, with streaks of orange and gray. The artist has carved the lower legs into squared forms. The legs have then been painted with watered-down acrylic paints, using an airbrush. The top has likewise been painted with transparent paints. The grain of the various woods is always visible. The components of the table have been varnished, and the varnish has been rubbed with very light abrasives to produce a matte finish that best reveals the wood.

About this Artist

John Boak

"All objects have voices and secrets. Since childhood I have been collecting, making, painting and assembling objects, all the while coaxing from them their songs, symbols and secrets."

Living as we do in a world of highly-refined and powerful objects, we are trained to approach unknown objects as if their meaning will soon be revealed. Boak's sculptures encourage the anticipation of function and meaning. The glyphs are Boak's own; he has drawn and collected them for over thirty years. These sculptures begin in Boak's notebooks. He often creates drawings on hikes in the mountains, working in a small notebook with colored pencils. In his studio, he creates digital paintings of the sculptures, and accompanying dimension drawings to fabricate the various pieces. He uses airbrush and paintbrush to paint the pieces before assembly.
