OBS in Contrast
Oriented Strand Board (OSB) wood stands in stark contrast to traditional art wood materials, challenging our preconceptions of disposability and perceived value. OSB wood, characterized by its affordability and widespread availability, has often been relegated to utilitarian purposes, such as sheathing and subflooring. OSB offers an intriguing and unexpected medium for artistic expression. Its unrefined appearance reveals captivating patterns and structures intrinsic to its composition.
OSB wood’s allure lies in its disposability, a reflection of today’s emphasis on sustainability and repurposing. Its patterns, created through layers of wood chips and adhesive, resemble geological landscapes. These patterns, when contrasted with the intricate architecture of well thought out electronics, invite a reevaluation of the materials worth.
Art Medium: Mixed Media (Wood, circuit boards, paints, screws)
Size: 15.7 x 15.7 x 2.4 inch (40 x 40 x 6 cm)
Weight: ±2kg (±4.4 lbs) per block
