Demerara Table - This table was made on a trip to Guyana in a Social Entrepreneurship venture with the Liana Cane Factory. Our collective will show our work at DWR in October. The table highlights the unique materials, processes and environment in which I was working. I was inspired by the diverse architecture around Guyana, particularly the fencing. Fences express many things - security, place, culture, and boundaries. By bending kufa and loosely "weaving" it, I made a table with an interior compartment.
