[IMC] For Immediate Release: Forest to Table

[Caroline Baljon]

Name: Forest to Table
Location: Indi go
Dates: January 24th- February 4th
Opening Reception: January 24th, 6-9pm

This show illuminates the close connection between the tree and the
furniture made from it, highlighting the creative process that starts with
the management of the forest, moving through the careful processing of
lumber, to its selection and transformation into beautifully designed
furniture. Coming from both the rural and urban forests of Illinois, the
lumber used in Schneider’s furniture is produced by a small sawmill and
sustainable hardwood lumber business run by Michael and Patricia Johnson.

Daniel Schneider is a furniture maker in Champaign, Illinois and professor
in the College of Fine and Applied Arts at the University of Illinois. His
work takes inspiration from classic pieces of mid-century designers, with
an emphasis on the careful selection of figured woods and grain.

Michael Johnson is a traditional large format photographer, producing
silver/gelatin prints from view camera negatives. Michael’s love of the
land and aesthetic vision is expressed both through his photography as well
as his stewardship of a 40 acre tree farm in the driftless area of
northwestern Illinois.
