Description
Someone gave me a thick hardwood board that had been attached to an industrial workbench on a machine shop. The top was covered with formica, and holes had been drilled through it to attach various tools. I spent many hours sorting through my vast collection of metal “found objects”, arranging them on the board, and gluing them on with
industrial adhesive. The large gold circle in the upper left corner is a compact disc.
While arranging the layout I was inspired by some of the fantastic designs of Kandinsky. The #2 in the title not only refers to the mail box numeral; I had also covered a round table top in this style which has been sold.
After a long search I found an old end table at a second hand store that was the same size as this top and purchased it just to place the top on.

Douglas Fromm replied:
Thank you !...I originally intended to cover the entire surface with metal objects, but while I was working on it I read an article about Kandinsky which inspired me to create some circular patterns and leave more open space.....

An exiting piece that a modern biomorph would be proud of. The piece entices the viewer to take a closer look. Mike
