Curved dialogue, 2022
solid wood


A wooden bench curves along the rounded wall of a room in a psychiatric hospital. The configuration is borrowed from therapeutic practice: the circle as a form of meeting, of speaking and being heard. By giving this arrangement a fixed, crafted form, the work makes a spatial proposal, one that already existed as a social convention, now held in wood.
