18 / Coyotes

At the northeast foyer of the Main Lobby above the exit patio door, Aimee Spencer Gorham’s wood marquetry, Coyotes, beautifully soaks into the lodge’s wooden walls. Her marquetry art process involved significant techniques of precisely cut wood pieces being glued to a wood panel. Next, the panel was put into a press and left for 24-hours under five tons of pressure. After an extended time sanding and scraping, over 20 coats of wax were applied using a special white wax formula.
