A red ceramic bowl sits centered against a deep black background, filled with wavy noodles in cream and gold tones held aloft by red chopsticks. A red rectangular label bearing Japanese characters floats to the right, while bold red lines frame the composition with graphic precision. In a kitchen, dining space, or anywhere food art finds its audience. A Baltic birch top with a beveled edge and satin finish, the artwork printed across it, made to order on steel legs in black or gold. A working piece of furniture that earns its place as an independent artist's work.
