0/2 Varnish layers
29,7 x 29,7cm. Wood collected in the streets

This project is based in a study on varnish and wood: varnish as a medium that reveals a surface, and varnish as a material that reveals itself. In some cases, the varnish is made visible when worked into patterns - in others, it functions as a window to the wood that lies beneath.
The exposition includes various different works which juxtapose the materials’ density and transparency - distinct dialogues between the wood and varnish. Through the collection of abandoned hardwood in the streets, later sanded and revarnished in layers, the works show the value we give to the ‘skin’ of an object, and how varnish can act, not only as an adornment, but as a medium of expression. A material that both dresses and undresses the wood.

Este proyecto supone un estudio sobre el barniz y la madera. El barniz como medio que muestra y el barniz como materia que se muestra a si misma.Trabajándolo algunas veces con patrones para hacerlo visible y en otras utilizándolo como ventana hacia la madera.

La muestra consta de diferentes obras en las que se conjuga densidad y transparencia, distintos diálogos entre la madera y el barniz. A partir de la recolecta de maderas macizas abandonadas en las calles, y posteriormente lijadas y rebarnizardas por capas, evidencia el valor que se le da a la “piel” de los objetos y como el barniz puede actuar, a parte de embellecedor, como medio expresivo. Una materia que viste y a la vez desnuda la madera.
