This Artist's Winding Sculptural Tables Will Make You Want One For Your Yard or House
Artist Michael Beitz, known for his incredible woodwork, designed two more sculptural tables this past year.
The talented artisan has built a reputation for mesmerizingly elaborate pieces that are as much as testament to his talent as they are the immense amount of time he spends designing and constructing them. These creations are definitely no exception.
A 50-foot-long, multi-tier picnic table that branches like a tree.
Beit'z inspiration came from a particular tree at the Michigan Riley Farm in Buffalo, NY.
It is an 18-foot-long loop of undulating wood, intended to depict anti-social, introverted qualities.
The piece was on display last year as part of Beitz' solo show called Maybe Later at the Roswell Museum and Art Center.
The knot, as well as the 18 feet of distance between both people, is intended to show that when we distance ourselves emotionally from the people we do life with - it creates a gap that is seemingly much larger than just a few feet.
