i think i was as struck by the atmospheric quality of this more than anything else (but i always do love a floor piece). the title says oil, but i think ink.

the wood in this piece is reprocessed from qing dynasty furniture.
ai wei wei has been working with architects on many projects recently--the most famous being the beijing olympic stadium. the lijiang guesthouse is a little severe, but i enjoy the combo of strict modernity with organically patterned doors, random angles and the inclusion of the tree.
