Unstable Table 


An installation
118 x 90 x 70cm

The Unstable Table is an installation, an embodied experience of an alternative future of more-than-human care and repair. Without glue (which is plastic) or screws, the eclectic collection of reclaimed timber is precariously balanced and does not tolerate normalised (ab)use*. Currently, in use. 

* Borrowing Dunne and Raby’s words from Hertzian Tales.
