DROP CAST CHAIR
During lockdown, I decided to repair and upcycle a rotting garden chair. I built a foundry in my vegetable patch using loose bricks, a paint stripper and a furnace lid. For the drop cast mould I pressed a rotten slat into damp sand. The aluminium was garden scrap.
An object conjured out of cabin fever and too many zoom calls during lockdown. Salvaged drinks cans provided the majority of the recycled aluminium used to remould the slat components.
