‘Oribe Doro’ (2021) refers to a type of historical Japanese lantern or shrine made out of stone and named after a tea master who designed these lanterns for Japanese tea gardens. It is part of a new body of work that is created digitally and 3D-printed in PLA. The pedestal it rests on consists of a mixture of concrete and recycled PLA which was used to print the supportive parts of the piece itself. Oribe Doro has the allure of a relic, like the artefact of an object that never existed. Playing with natural forms and industrial materials which aims to drive up the conceptual tension within the object itself. Although the name implies a functionality, Oribe Doro takes the role of an abstract entity floating between past and future, covering itself with ornaments as a way of expression, in search of a personality.
