Stories about castles and obscure monuments loomed large in DUSKSHAPED’s book-fed childhood. This sculpture pays homage to these fanciful worlds, filled with inscrutable power and magic.
Sturdy steel powdercoated in a textured black finish. Designed so that the top two pieces interlock into those beneath them in a hardware-free assembly. The lower column attaches to the heavy base with two bolts.
This piece is part of the collection “”Bad Graces,”” conceived and designed during a period when the designer lost the ability to walk. A lot of reading, a lot of dreaming, and a lot of musing on what it means to trust one’s body for daily use filled these months.
Sustainability is the organizing principle, and the intention is for their work to be circular: cherished for hundreds of years, but circular nonetheless given a geologic time scale, the scale that matters. That is why DUSKSHAPED’s practice is centered on metals, the only common building materials that are systematically recycled and infinitely recyclable. Post-life recycling is highly encouraged via a return to any local metal yard.
Care: Wipe clean with a water-dampened cloth.
