The surfaces of Cornejo's works are both decorative and explanatory. The lacquered wood is heavily manipulated through sanding and carved marks, lending a sense of depth to the pieces. These details also reveal the structural components, as both the desk and chair offered here were created through an additive process of found wood. The results of these accumulated processes are unique works that are individual in composition. Incised signature and date to side: [M. Cornejo 05].
