An iron sculpture on the wall next to a formidable oak front door hints at the interior of Bill Beyer’s contemporary home on Lake Thoreau in Reston, Va.
The sculpture – “Four Men Seeking Their Center” – features four figures aloft and reaching into the center of the circle. Standing on the threshold inside the door and taking in the vast open expanse looking out on the water, one discovers a circular diagram resembling a compass in the floor made of several different types of wood inlay –including walnut, yellow heart, wenge, and rosewood – with four Jungian archetypal symbols portrayed – the magician, lover, warrior and king.
