By focusing on the specific textures and shapes of the mid-century aesthetic, the work invites a feeling of focused domesticity and the slow, deliberate pace of handmade creation.
The artwork leans into a specific historical aesthetic, celebrating the functional beauty and heavy silhouettes of mid-century machinery.
