The Dock by Judith Seng

With her series of wooden sculptures the German designer Judith Seng continues the research on conceptual surfaces. She explores the ideal of perfect surfaces by creating and destructing them within the same object.

The dual cultural consensus of striving for optimisation and perfection is increasingly disrupted by an emerging aesthetic that reveals destructive interventions by both man and nature. Rise approaches this ambivalence as an aesthetic reflection and confronts the manufacturing of perfect surfaces by destructing them within the same object. To destruct or to finish perfect surfaces takes about the same amount of investment – energy, time, money – and thus becomes a matter of aesthetics and related values.
