For the late spring 2022 exhibition season, Themes+Projects gallery presents Kodama, by artist duo of Base 10, Lindsey Muscato and Joshua Friedman.
Drawing on the hand tools, joinery, methods, and precedents of traditional Japanese timber-framing, the pieces in the Kodama series are made with large-scale timbers culled from salvaged coastal redwood and douglas fir in order to construct sculptural interpretations of seating, shelving, consoles, and tables. The forms are imagined as distilled details, removed from architectural context and re-scaled to relate to the human body, interior space, and historical furniture standards.
