About the Item

Brutalist wood assemblage wall sculpture in the style of James McNabb, constructed from reclaimed architectural wood fragments and interspersed metal panels mounted within a thin metal frame. The composition radiates outward from a central axis in a forceful sunburst arrangement, drawing from a diverse vocabulary of salvaged millwork: turned stair balusters, rope-twist moldings, flat boards, and decorative architectural fragments. Silvery-gray embossed metal panels punctuate the wood tones throughout, creating a counterpoint between warm brown wood and cooler metallic surfaces. The lower section cascades the radiating elements downward, amplifying the sense of movement and depth within the vertical format. The McNabb aesthetic draws from Brutalist principles applied to wood: raw material honesty, assembled construction rather than carved form, and a deliberate engagement with the history embedded in salvaged architectural components. The use of recognizable building fragments, balusters, moldings, and millwork, positions the work in a tradition of found-object assemblage that engages material memory without sentimentalizing it. The radial composition imposes formal discipline on inherently irregular source materials, a hallmark of this approach. Shows age-appropriate wear consistent with the reclaimed source materials and use over time.
