Emerging from heaps of debris that periodically accumulate in Switzerland, these coffee tables embody the frozen essence of advertising excess and paper waste that we receive in abundance, yet are overlooked and ignored by those who receive them. These creations immortalize the unsettling juxtaposition between the abundance of unwanted messages and the apathy generally directed towards them, thus revealing the discord between mass consumption and its latent impact on our visual and ecological environment. Each sheet is coated with porcelain then fired. As the paper disappears we are left with a rigid element as if frozen in time, while keeping the imprint of it. This process allows for random discoveries and associations that have generated a new vocabulary of form.
