Rift
Rift - This was a project done for the 2005 PMA Collab competition honoring Geatano Pesce, which placed 3rd. The objective was to create a vase while using Pesce's idea of Variance, as the competition was entitled Variance and the Vase.
The concept is taking the worst traits and way to cut wood, and utilizing it into something beautiful. Rift is cut from a Raw edge of wood, the most undesirable cut, which is then cut on the end grain, the weakest and most probable to warp. This is then bonded to a rubber core(future plans of using polylactic acid core) in order to hold water and allowing water to wash up on the wood to have a blossoming affect when used.
