A square reversible damask textile panel divided into a grid of sixteen squares colored alternately tan and off-white. Each square of the grid contains a puddle-like section of ikat, a weaving technique where the interwoven silk threads have been tie-dyed prior to the creation of the panel. The ikat threads are colored in indigo, royal blue and grey-blue. The result is a pattern that contrasts the geometry of the grid with the blooming pools of ikat color, like splodges of ink, creating a spatial interplay between transparency and opacity.

An undulating chair formed from a bent and molded birch-faced, light chestnut-colored plywood seat, and a curvilinear, sand-colored bent birch frame. The wave-like seat panel starts with a back-curved head rest descending on an angled plane to the bottom of the spine before heading up to bend at the knee area and descend slightly at the calf. The seat is supported by a curved frame which stretches backwards to a cross bar and supports the back legs, forming a trapezoidal shape. The arms are formed from two undulating bent-birch strips which mirror the curves of the seat and are joined to the back legs.

Watercolor and pencil drawing of a floral pattern. The pattern consists of nine large, white, realistic, radially symmetrical flowers, on a blue background with golden brown stems and leaves and four identical, evenly spaced, stylized, round, brown medallions containing smaller white flowers that look like simplified cherry blossom. While the large flowers and leaves look realistic, the veins on some of the leaves are stylized with geometric patterns formed by a continuous line that remind of a Greek key pattern. The large flowers have five large white petals each, with brown nectar guides and a complex, circular structure in the center so that stigma and stamens are not clearly visible. The drawing is on a square with wider lateral margins. In the center of the drawing, there is a subtly penciled 50x50 grid of identical squares, numbered 1 to 50 along each of the four sides and in the middle of the grid. The pattern is such that it can be repeated, like in a block print, because the lines at opposite margins match and complete each other.

This necklace is made up of eight distinct pieces, each of a different color. All of the pieces are amorphous in shape except for the one on the bottom, which is pale green and made to look like a cluster of three leaves. Five of the designs are of unidentifiable media. Of the remaining three, one is wood, one is metal and one is a dark brown carved nut or seed. The pearls attached to the end of each piece separate the elements and hold the necklace together.

Close-up of a front-facing, silver cuff-style bracelet on a neutral background. The bracelet has a smooth, dark surface, deeply oxidized, and is made of up a series of sensuous biomorphic shapes with sinuous lines which flow into one another. The left side of the bracelet features a series of bulbous, gourd-shaped forms which overlap and connect with the tip of a plump heart-shaped form lying on its side. The top of the heart flows into a pierced, rounded, amorphous shape on the right, through which short, hooked-shaped tentacles emerge, continuing the circlular shape of the bracelet. A rounded portion of the back part of the bracelet is partially visible behind the heart-shaped center.
