Found bench & epoxy resin
107 x 45 x 15.5 cm
Throughout this series Nagasaka explores his ongoing interest in finding modern solutions for abandoned objects through poetic re-purposing techniques. The 'Flat Tables' series takes found workstations and tabletops which are renewed through a layer of coloured epoxy resin in order to reveal and celebrate the textures of the woods, their time-weathered surfaces and the many narratives embedded in these cuts, scratches and abrasions.
