French polished logs.
Composite work.
Table: 1800 x 1200 mm
Logs destined for fire-wood were collected from Hestercombe’s grounds and transformed through sanding and French polishing.. Shift in status - treating firewood to the same care a fine piece of domestic furniture would have been shown, and shift referring to the process behind the work - the time spent in bringing the material to life.
