Kevin Burkeen
Side Buffet

preview location: 356 South Main | archimania

artist statement
This piece came from a 5-panel, raised panel door. The paint was stripped away to reveal a beautifully patinaed heart pine core. The inspiration for the project came from a combination of wanting to maintain the raised panels intact with their unique grain pattern and wanting to create a functional piece of furniture. The versatility of the piece will allow the buyer to configure this artful treasure to an assortment of uses for daily living. This piece would make a wonderful hall table, a classic bookcase, an elegant wine bar, or a handy serving buffet.
