PALINDROME
series
A series of furniture objects which are half mould and half cast.
1. A box mould is constructed from timber. |
2. The interior of the mould is cast
into. |
3. The mould is opened up. |
4. The cast has the texture of the wood. |
5. The wood pieces are flipped inside out |
6. A reversed impression of the wooden side now
exists. |
7. The two sides are joined together. |
The first Palindrome series was created for Design Miami / Art Basel 2009. It was a response to the brief set for the award Designers of the Future award which specified the use of plaster and mirror as the primary materials with which to build an installation (shown here). |
TATTARRATTAT
This was the first experiment
in the series which uses smashed up old palletes for the mould. All
of the marks and damage on the wood appear to be like intentional decorative
motifs once they are reflected on to the cast. |
