Gender of the mold

2019
A poetic distortion of a standardised product.

Industrialized making and craftsmanship are brought together to explore the potential for personal expression in the creation of a daily artefact. Mold number 39, originally a water glass, distorted through a series of alterations, using different materials and techniques. Inspired by “The Straight Mind” by Monique Wittig, this experimental craftsmanship asks- If we don’t fit our mold, why should our objects fit theirs?
