TURN is a chair crafted from reclaimed timber stair spindles sourced from a suburban house in Victoria. Reworked and turned outward to reveal the timber’s hidden grain, the piece reflects on migration, domestic memory, and transformation. Reclaiming value through acts of revealing, reorientation, and care.

We acknowledge the Bunurong People of the South-eastern Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of these unceded lands and waterways, upon which we live and work. We respectfully acknowledge their Ancestors and Elders, and the continued practice of culture, customs and connection to country and community. In Australia, sovereignty has never been ceded. Australia always was and always will be, Aboriginal land.
