Healing from Trauma


2023 | Sculpture; un-readymades | ~ 20x20x48 cm

Made from reclaiming pieces of oak that were found with damage inflicted by metal at some point, as evident from the blue stains - a reaction the oak creates.



Unstable Table


2022 | Installation; speculative device; un-readymades | 90x120x80 cm

Various reclaimed wood collected over half a year or so, clamps and 1 new sheet of ply. 

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.
