Happy Earth Day -- Christy Oates e-waste marquetry project

In honor of Earth Day, we bring you two incredible videos created by a Gallery of Functional Art artist, Christy Oates. Christy uses eco-friendly materials while specializing in laser cut veneer marquetry and Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC) technologies in wood.

Stop by to check out her piece "Wallpaper Chair" which transforms from a flat wall piece into a functional chair. Watch the video below to see how it was created.

This next piece was inspired by discarded equipment at an e-waste center and took 3 months to complete. Watch as Christy takes you through the entire process from start to finish in just a few minutes.
