Wooden Box (1982-83)

A wood and silver box, laminated in cream, brown and greyish-blue wood and three narrow sheets of silver, so two sides of the interior of the box are lined in silver, and a line of silver runs through the centre of the lid and protrudes into the interior to hold the lid in place. Approximately square in plan, but intended to be seen as a lozenge; the base flat, the top domed and slightly ridged on the north-south axis; the rectangular cover is also ridged in the opposite direction, so that its shallow triangular ends show at the sides. The north and south points are striped horizontally in brown and cream and the east and west points are striped vertically in greyish-blue and cream. Half of the cover is striped horizontally in brown and cream and half vertically in greyish-blue and cream. Narrow vertical strips of silver separate the brown/cream and greyish-blue/cream areas of the box, and the two striped areas of the lid.
