Description

Melancholy 08 is a unique one-off piece by Saturday Yard Work, created and exhibited for “Gleam” by Household Presents, Adelaide. Sparked by curiosity and play, the pieces in the Melancholy project by Saturday Yard Work merge material experimentation and design. The fluid surface texture came out of experiments with accessible materials and was accentuated once cast in aluminum, adding to its gothic character.

The project went on to apply this newfound technique to various objects, each in a different style and some set against polished surfaces. The final shape and form were never the main concern; instead, viewers are invited to take a closer look at the details in each piece.
