A cabinet created for Perimeter Gallery Paris to display jewellery by Alexandra Jefford

The cabinet body is cast around a rough wooden beam which has been removed leaving an interior with heavy wood grain texture. As with the previous Palindrome works, the use of wood as a mould references architectural construction techniques. Here the item which is normally used to support structures, such as a lintel above a door, has become the supported object. Its functionality inverted.

The cabinet is constructed from a reinforced cementious/acrylic composite with a mineral finish. It has secure entry hatches on both ends.
