Better Together
Five wood panels rescued from disposal, given a second life through colour, line and character.
The piece
What was discarded becomes the ground for something entirely new: a cast of creatures and faces that never chose each other, now permanently and inseparably bound. Bold geometry holds the composition together across all five panels, while each face pushes against the next, confrontational, curious, alive. The raw edge of the reclaimed wood is not hidden but honoured, part of the work's truth.
THE idea
Each panel had its own colour background and began as a single piece with its own identity. Working at their actual size, side by side, I started to connect them: the two on the left (violet line on white, and white line on dark green) merged their line-waves with the other three panels, and then the colour of those panels dripped into the two, binding the whole into one.
