Renaissance was the title of
Emsophina Benjametha's works in CRACK.
He saw clay (in other word, soil) as a medium of growth and decay.
As designer he constantly experimented with materials;
and so did he with this piece.
Paper pulp was added to Tao Hong Tai red clay, and the mixture was applied to a mesh+wood structure, resulting in a simple, yet sophisticated rectilinear wall piece, with holes and cracks in the 'right' places.
Controlling the uncontrollable?
Preserving the unpreservable?
Btw, the piece would have looked sooooo much better,
ahemmm... without the cute little plants and cute white little pebbles.
Well, just another personal opinion.
Emsophian Benjametha studied in Bangkok, later at Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Versailles, and got his Master Degree from Ecole Nation Superieue des Arts Decoratifs, Paris. Currently he works full-time as product designer for the furniture design firm, Planet 2001.
