Writing Desk preview location: 544 South Main | south of Arcade artist statement Dali’s work was an inspiration to transform a standard rectilinear door into a free flowing writing desk. Using the existing lines and structure, I carved out organic lines and pieces and reused them. These lines counter balance the rigidity of the rectangles. Curved and angled shelves are placed in voids left by broken window panes, and they provide spaces to charge a phone or place a vase. artist bio Will McGown is an artist and designer who has been building wood furniture in the Memphis area since 1992. His pieces are composed of traditional, all solid wood joinery, and in this, his work is a throwback to an earlier time when furniture lasted and pieces could be handed down through generations. His designs emphasize strong, clean lines and reveal influences from Art Deco and the work of Frank Lloyd Wright.  To find out more about the artist: www.mcgowninc.com http://www.mcgowninc.comshapeimage_1_link_0
