Dresser with Changing Table
Artist: Richard Dubinsky, MD, MPH, Department of Neurology Professor and Senior Educational Consultant
Vice-Chair for Outpatient Neurology
Category: craft, woodworking
Artist Statement on the theme Transformed and Transcended: This is the first dresser that I have made, so for me it was a large undertaking. The wood is construction lumber from a local big box store. The height of the piece was determined by a comfortable height to change a baby’s nappie. The rest of the proportions were worked out using a caliper. The simple, classical, proportions are noted on the plan. This was the only drawing before I started work. I was under a bit of deadline to get it finished before it was needed. Like many amateur crafts people. My first cradle was done by the time our child was too big to use it. This piece should survive many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
