Artist Binh Danh was born in Vietnam in 1977, two years after the fall of Saigon, and in 1979 he and his family left their country and eventually reached the United States. The experience inspired him to create artwork exploring time and memory. “This series ... continues my exploration of the photographic process. Photography has allowed me to mediate on death and its influence on the living. The themes of mortality, memory, history, landscape justice, evidence and spirituality encompass this [work],” states the artist.

Tony Williams uses furniture as a canvas. He creates images without using stains or paints. Instead, he uses the natural colors and grain of exotic woods to create texture and dimension in his work. Embedding images into furniture results in pieces that are functional and beautiful.

Before coming to America in 1993, Thomas Johnson was a scholarship student at the prestigious woodworking institute in Rimini, Italy. There he was given the opportunity to work under the tutelage of world–renowned furniture makers. Much of Johnson's work is done by using traditional machinery, tools and methods such as dowel; mortise; tongue and groove construction; and precision hand–sanding and hand–rubbed finishing. He uses only the finest hardwoods and finishing products in his work.
