Sol LeWitt is well known for his instruction-based wall drawings, which are considered part of the foundation of conceptual art in the 1960s. But for me, his structures series are what really knock me out and inspired the table shown here. One key difference is how the individual wood "sticks" are connected. Where LeWitt uses a butt joint at each intersection, I've run each stick past the other while pinning the interlocking connection with a wood dowel. I like how this joint is easier to make and has an expressive quality that feels less rigidly minimalist. From certain viewing angles, like the one in the last image above, the stick base seems to form impossible shapes that defy real perspective. The marble slabs are cut from a single piece and can be rearranged into various configurations—a fun way to change things up. Details:
