We are all aghast at the sight of these tips. But few take any positive action. That’s what needs to be done…But it’s not enough. A tip is also a symbol of the dominant approach shared by today’s “creatives”: the producers of goods.What are the choices before me?- Use the wood to create a decently designed object (a table, for example) and in so doing discard every memory of the briccola, of the slime and the holes made by sea creatures?- Or realize the same project but this time preserving and giving grotesque prominence to what should be discarded?- What is the point of an exhibition dedicated to the briccole?My idea is to create a standard for the exhibition: a base made of an uncleaned briccola supports a fan of three sections of semi-finished oak waiting to be used.
Base finish:
Iron lacquered
Structure finishing:
Briccola
Size:
80 x 80 x h 340 cm
