Judy Kensley McKie (American, b. 1944) Dragon Table, Massachusetts, 1997, cast bronze and glass, marked "JKM, 1997, 4/12," ht. 19, wd. 65, dp. 24 in. Note: Note: McKie has become a prominent figure in the American studio furniture movement. McKie began making furniture in the early 1970s following completion of her painting degree at the Rhode Island School of Design; although her designs are informed by formal training as an artist, she is essentially self-taught as a craftsperson. In her animal motifs, McKie makes reference to the design of indigenous cultures and primitive, totemic animals of Pre-Columbian, African, and Native American art, which are either carved into the wood or painted upon the surface. McKie strives to create furniture that is not only sculptural, but functional as well; her decorative furniture, which is often cast in bronze, marble, resin, and stone, functions as both an artistic form and a useful piece of furniture.
