REZINK
The pieces are formed from titanium zinc – a material made to meet water. Used in roofs and gutters, it gathers rain, guides it, endures it. Its surface shifts over time, oxidizing into a muted grey, recording the touch of air and moisture. It is a metal that remembers weather.
In these works, the material is not passive. It responds, reacts, alters – expanding with heat, patinating with rain, carrying traces of its encounters. Matter itself holds a kind of agency, participating quietly in the shaping of the world. What once controlled the flow of water now reflects its force.
As glaciers retreat and seas expand with warmth, water exceeds the boundaries we have built for it. The metal becomes both structure and witness – a reminder that the forces we attempt to manage are alive in their own way, and that we are entangled with the very materials we believe we command.
