CAMO CABANA is a wall hung sculpture made from carved and painted plywood. The metal object protruding from the upper left side is welded and nickel plated chain. It resembles a patio umbrella or communication satellite dish in decomposition. The carving is reminiscent of a topographical map and the paint, in consequence, flattens the physical depth. The pattern is not only taken from military and hunting patterns but equally from reptile patterning i.e. boa constrictors.
