Description
In this table-top sculpture, Herbert deftly folds and manipulates an otherwise solid material into a convincing stack of trompe l’oeil fabric. Heightened in it’s color and inviting to touch, this sculpture's seamless beauty is equally at home in a traditional interior as well as one minimally designed.
