"Garden Gate" - folding screen

I built this folding screen for an entry piece in an art exibitiion (The McCoy Prize) here in Grand Cayman. I made it from 3 sections of plywood (using my jigsaw to cut the scalloped edges at the top). I used the Trompe L'oeil method (3-D painting technique used in realistic paintings to trick the eye, especially through the use of perspective to create an illusion of three-dimensionality), to give it the look of a picket fence.
