Pocket Assembly Patent (US3944224) - Canvas Wall Art

This artwork honours US Patent 3,944,224, a refined innovation that shaped one of the game’s most decisive moments: the pocket.

Through a considered assembly of form and material, this invention improved ball reception, durability, and consistency at the table’s edge. It transformed the pocket from a simple opening into a carefully engineered interface—one that governs acceptance, rejection, and the subtle feedback that defines precision play. Quietly, it set a standard for how the table itself participates in the game.

Rendered with a restrained, minimalist aesthetic, this piece celebrates the overlooked mechanics that uphold cue sports at the highest level. It is not merely a depiction of a patent, but a tribute to the discipline, craftsmanship, and structural integrity that allow skill and intention to prevail.
