I never thought about tables much – until a friend opened a door in my head:

She wondered whether artists might enjoy building table tops to go with the fancy stainless-steel table bases that her friend had salvaged from a dumpster.

And suddenly for me, it clicked:

We gather at tables to eat, chat, and play.

We make plans, peace, and war there. We build things ,  we take them apart.

Sometimes we sit alone, but more often we sit with others, creating moments in time with deep meaning. (see my earlier project – Table 9, which I might get around to building some day.)

What would musicians create if they could sit down at such a thing?

Here’s the initial concept sketch – I’ll post more photos as I build.
