One penny pays for one person to interact with one Rod Block. See what moves, in which directions. Work out what each part is made from. Take it apart if you wish. Get to know the textures and speculate as to all the processes that went into creating them. Smell them, listen to them, leave them in a different position to when you came across them.
These Tabletop sculptures aim to question the purpose of furniture and challenge the definition of function. Furniture is inherently functional, and its function is always serving some practical need of our bodies. These sculptures aim to focus instead on the needs of our minds. Keeping the sculptures categorised as furniture allows for the potential that one day ‘mind serving furniture’ could be seen as an obvious addition to any living room. These particular sculptures are based on research that suggests that feeling engaged and connected to surrounding objects can have positive impacts on peoples’ minds.
