To Melt a Stone [2026]
Grey, inert, anonymous, basalt almost always plays the role of a background actor in the local systems it appears in. This project questions whether that can be changed by adapting the process of basalt-casting to the regional context of Iceland and what it means to establish a craft under contemporary paradigms. It is a speculation about resilience through making. Small in scale, conscious of place and local knowledge, the project grounded in the idea that design can connect, mediate and give form to new ways of producing within regional boundaries.
