Primitive Excavations // Striations

Building on the refined aesthetics of earlier laminated works, the Primitive Excavations occasional chair strikes a harmonious balance between delicate craftsmanship and bold sculptural expression. The artist crafts with an instinctive approach, embracing and rejecting ideas as they arise. The piece breaks away from conventional techniques, rejecting traditional tools to "excavate" its form from solid mass. Through tacit methods and a conscious unlearning of the norms of fine craft, the result is a raw, organic structure that feels both intentional and primal. 

The chair's finish further enhances its distinct character, using traditional ebonizing techniques combined with lime wax to create a textured surface reminiscent of weathered rock. This fusion  of form and finish makes a striking sculptural statement, merging aggressive artistry with a refined sense of elegance.
