Exhibitor’s text‍

Producing multiples of an object as a craftsperson is often time-consuming, in contrast to the digital workflow, where copying and duplicating large amounts of data can be done with a few taps on a keyboard. 

‍

My work brings together digital and hand-crafting techniques, giving importance to the marks left by each process. Through each reproduction, detail is both lost and created. I aim to highlight the aesthetic of the mechanical and artificial, creating atmosphere and illusion.
