This commission was
made for a wonderful client who needed a place to display a
collection of ethnic objects given to her by her grandparents
who traveled the world. After a long, unsuccessful search
for the perfect piece, the client was very specific about the
design and very involved in the whole process.
Because of her
commitment, I named these cabinets "The Three Sisters" after the
folklore tale of the Sisters mountains in Oregon. The
story goes that the chief of a native Indian tribe ordered his
three daughters to marry and procreate to ensure the tribe's
longevity. The eligible bachelors were paraded past the
daughters, but they would not choose - too tall, too short, too
old, too young....As punishment for their refusal the Shaman
turned them into mountains. The mountains exist today and
are beautiful. They stand proud, a testament to not
settling for something less than perfect.
Shortly
after I named this piece, my client told me she was pregnant
with her third daughter.
