What you seeA very close view of a diagonal turned lattice in strong sun, each wooden ball and spindle modelled in cedar light and shade against a dark interior.

What it meansTurned-wood screens were assembled from hundreds of identical beads and rods, so the beauty of the whole rests on the precision of each joint.

Where it worksHas the weight to anchor a dark wall, a kitchen or a workspace.
