Perished Table
Studio Job
Studio Job
Limited edition of 6.
Studio Job’s first marquetry collection, Perished, introduced in 2006, employs 2-color imagery depicting various skeletons presumed to be those of extinct animals, birds, and sea creatures, which densely populate the surfaces of the furnishings as if inhabiting a sort of post-mortem Peaceable Kingdom. A sharp sense of social critique lurks beneath the glamorous surfaces and dances around the blurry, distorted line between good and evil. These are constant themes in Studio Job’s work as is the merging of historic imagery and antique techniques with contemporary fears. Perished is a contemporary take on an antiquarian technique, marquetry (inlaid wood) inspired by 17th century Flemish examples.
