Life Size Folk Art : J. D. Ireland Interior Architecture & Design

Designer Joe Ireland's installation of this vintage hand-carved wooden deer on the second floor landing in a contemporary home on the western shore of Maryland is evocative of an outdoor woodland scene. The beauty of its form, the beauty of the forest, and the beauty of the river in the background make this design element ideal for its new home. (You have to look twice to know if the deer is moving or not!) Acquired April 2014.
