Introducing Offshoot, for Fabrica - a proposal for a public intervention that draws the invisible line between a tree and the wooden stool it may eventually become. The hanging mobile is suggested as an extension of the tree itself, growing through the steps of the production process, branching from a cut log into component parts and finally a useable stool. Bringing transparency to this process pays tribute to a tree as an abundant resource, and asks us not to take it for granted. |
