Wood London

Bethan Wood has taken over from me (as the laminate/plywood/sculpture/asymmetry obsessive type) in the London workshop as i am now part time and setting things up in Cornwall. The work is varied but i like the laminated objects; its precise, painstaking stuff, that she totally believes in, and trusts. Using old Formica samples and sheets, then laser cutting patterns and using marquetry techniques, creating really interesting landscapes. It has to been seen in the flesh to get the full affect, but the pattern above is not simply a print, it is made up of hundreds of different bits of laminate. Currently a designer in residence at the Design Museum to boot, so you can check it out if you go and see the Dieter Rams exhibition, (which finishes 9th March btw).
