Stanger's Use Of Marquetry

Stanger uses marquetry to bring a painterly quality to his colorful wooden sculptures, which sell for $15,000 to $100,000. 

"It is a way to incorporate drawing skills into my work," he says. "It gives a three-dimensional quality to a two-dimensional surface. It turns the piece into a multi-media object."
