The Zen chip was cut from a cube of wood. The chip was a lesson that the California woodworker, Art Carpenter, gave to his assistants to test their abilities. Cutting a block of wood using the bandsaw and then shaping the slice into a perfectly balanced chip provides lessons in form, geometry, and refinement.

Alison McLennan is a furniture artist living in Oakland, CA with a studio in Alameda, CA. She trained and work with the artist Garry Knox Bennett for 20 years.

She believes the best art is an idea based upon knowledge and expressed with skill, that reflects the past, while hinting at the future. She strives to make each piece express the right amount of visual information to make it art. Balancing modern and decorative, her work maintains a tension between ordinary and extraordinary.
