Garry Knox Bennett
Oakland, California
Lamp #91
Mixed materials, 22" tall
Garry Knox Bennett is not, as he puts it, a "twirler," but turned parts from other artists and woodworkers often find their way into his work. Bennett is well-known for his creativity and craftsmanship, and as the maker who pointedly pounded a nail into the front of a impeccably-crafted piece of fine furniture he'd just made, sending shockwaves through the fine woodworking world.
According to an article on the American Craft Council website, "Bennett, a consummate designer and exacting craftsman, played an influential role in freeing American studio furniture from the constraints of traditional practices and expectations. In a defiant act crystallizing his desire to free technique from being an end in itself, Bennett drove a 16-penny nail prominently into the upper panel of his beautiful and luxurious six-foot-tall Nail Cabinet and added some hammer impressions for good measure. From the catalog: “The nail became the focal point of the work, loudly proclaiming the Nail Cabinet to be the statement of the unique, thinking individual and anything but the product of the anonymous craftsman.” "
