Daylighting is the process of excavating and restoring previously buried watercourses, revealing them once again to the light.
‘Daylighting Trees’ explores this concept by instead exposing the beauty within weathered and reclaimed wooden architectural beams.
The display exhibits a collection of furniture and sculptural objects, all carved from the same salvaged material. The physical pieces are made by furniture designers Joel Galenkamp and Jordan Poirier and are accompanied by a written excerpt by author, poet, and woodworker John Terptra.
These three craftspeople seek to uncover the beauty behind utility. The tree humbly participates as a part of our ecosystem and our built environment and contains intrinsic, unforced beauty. It is a beauty that is often hidden by our own purposes and the time they have spent in dedication to them.
