Kin & Company
Name of Work: Wave Bench
Steel, heat-treated and red oxide patina / 70"w x 16"d x 27"hAbout the Work:
Wave Bench studies the tension existing between our human desire for social connection and the physical distance required by the global pandemic. Rolled sheets of steel curl and peel away, capturing the dynamic duality of cresting waves and the calm spaces between them. When engaging with the piece, sitters are invited to embody these same emotional contrasts, experiencing the ebb and flow of connection and distance, excitement and relaxation.
