Woodply, 2022



Plywood is engineered to be a consistently stable and predictable material, however it is made using veneers of wood, which by nature shrink, warp and crack in response to their environment.

The manufacturing process restrains and conceals this unruly world of natural beauty within a uniform straitjacket.

By removing the outermost veneers, the true beauty of the wood is revealed. Linking this industrial material with its environmental origins brings texture and spontaneity back to an otherwise sanitised material.
