A sculpture and printed fabric collaboration with Tom Fereday, Industrial Designer. Presented at AltMaterial 2021 exhibition in Melbourne hosted by The National Gallery, Victoria for Melbourne Design Week.
The solid wooden sculpture was carved with a linear grid repeat representing my diary inputs from the start of Covid, depicting the digital influence over our new physicality - screen glitches, genome sequencing, barcodes, QR codes and a gently fading repetition and permanent stain.
At 150cm high - the social distance length in Australia- and 100kg in weight, the sculpture was used as a rolling press to print a linen length with wood stain by turning it by hand, having the only smallest inkling (and hopes) of how we could control the outcome and how it would print with just one coating of wood stain.
