Local Linoleum
2023
A
proposal to make a
solid and local linoleum as a building material that is re-pliable at its end of life. The project is part of a commisson from MAKE GOOD, rethinking material futures at the V&A. The research is about making linoleum three-dimensional
instead of in a sheet material, and proposes to make linoleum from local materials that
are not extracted from the earth; Linseed oil from local flax farmers, wood
dusts that are a byproduct from local furniture industry and woodworking companies, chalks that are a by-product from drinking water production.
On display at the V&A in London - from 22nd
of November 2023 until October 2024 - in the exhibition Re-forming Waste.
