Sticks
Designer: Rickard Whittingham
Materials: Brass, various hardwoods
There are all sorts of potential narratives about scale, the decorative role of brass, agreed units of measure and what is lost by and gained from the processing of natural materials, that could be projected onto these almost useless objects. Or, there may be nothing more profound going on other than the presentation of some 12-inch/ 304.8 mm sticks and one 914.4mm/yardstick with cast brass 1:50 scale models finding somewhere to stand or sit. The sticks are the result of a collective effort and the use of traditional and digital crafts skills.
