 This work translates the language of food and culture into carved glyphs. Each symbol is a visual mark: a character, a memory, a moment. The charred wood carries centuries of Japanese tradition. The CNC machining brings it into the present.

Project Details

​

These CNC-milled Shou Sugi Ban hemlock Panels—also known as Yakisugi were created in multiple full height tongue and groove planking. Each panel was carefully laid out and milled to reveal the raw hemlock beneath the chard surface.
