Farnsworth in Fragments

This collection of tables is made from stone remnants reclaimed from the lower terrace of the Farnsworth House, designed and constructed by Mies Van der Rohe in 1945. With the provenance of these found materials as the point of departure, this work investigates the relation of remnants to larger systems of value and accrued, historic meaning. Using stone masonry and sculptural assemblage to conjure form, each piece revisits how these found materials perform under new circumstances while still alluding to the histories that came to shape them.
