Kenyon Goblet
My
approach to developing a small scale interior is to use everything I can find, work with,
or create, to present an interior that has the feel, complexity, and textures
of life. Small
scale affords an almost limitless opportunity to learn to work with every material that a miniaturist might use.
I
love natural materials too much not to bring them into my interiors. Even small scale can take advantage of the richness and tactile qualities of the different woods that are available. In my interiors you will
find maple, walnut, cherry, bubinga, ebony, tulipwood, pear, boxwood, rosewood,
and many other woods, including burls.
I love fabrics and their cousins—the drape of
a fine silk, the almost weightless feel of thin skiver, the coolness of ermine, the three dimensional look
of needlepoint.
I also love the serendipity of a found
object—one of the advantages that our technology-rich culture affords miniaturists.
Without beads, etched brass, watch parts, pins, styrene shapes, and other
objects made both for miniaturists and for other purposes, small scale
interiors would be much less interesting.
Come and explore!
