Furniture maker and sculptor James McNabb’s exhibition, Metros at the Robert Fontaine gallery in Miami.
Of his impressive work, which he describes as ‘sketching with a bandsaw’, McNabb sez:
I compare hyperrealistic painting to fine woodworking. Both are slow, tedious, detail oriented process that require great care and consideration through every stage of making.
