The Amber Bend, Curved Wooden Passage

Travel / Specialty / Projects · horizontal

A curved wooden passage is seen from inside, with bent timber ribs sweeping overhead and down the left side. The wood glows in warm oranges and ambers, with dark metal straps and bolts holding the structure together. At the far end, an arched wooden door with a green frame and a window of bright glass draws the eye. The wide-angle view bends the lines so the whole corridor seems to ripple and flow.

Someone wants this piece for its warm glow and its rhythm of curves. Bent timber ribs sweep along the passage and ripple like a wave toward a small green-framed arched door with bright glass. The orange-gold wood, the pull of the perspective and the sense of enclosed, flowing movement make an ordinary wooden passage feel inviting. Many architectural photographs of wood are static and straight-lined. This one bends, glows and leads the eye somewhere.
