Contemporary furniture-maker Chase DeForest already has a style all her own, building topsy-turvy cabinets and drawers from both reclaimed materials and fine hardwoods alike. But it's her side line, inspired by her own sports-minded disposition, that's turning heads and making people smile these days. That endeavor, characterized by pieces built from vintage skis, Scrabble tiles, golf clubs, tent material and Ping Pong-table slabs, will be the focal point of Sporting and Recreation: Furniture by Chase DeForest, which is currently on display at Ironton Studios and Gallery, 3636 Chestnut Place. A self-described active person, DeForest says that building the works is a natural progression, whether or not she begins with a sporting accoutrement she actually uses (she does ski, and she loves Scrabble). "I'm not a baseball player," DeForest explains. "But I'm obviously a woodworker, and a bat seems like a neat place to start."
Catch Sporting and Recreation through December 15; DeForest will also give an artist talk at 6:30 p.m. on November 28. Call 303-297-8626 or go to www.irontonstudios.com.
