An Artist Edition by Buchanan Studio and Robert Montgomery. The work brings one of Montgomery's most recognised poems into a domestic setting, where it exists as a surreal presence within the space. The words suggest memory, loss, and the ways in which those we have loved and lost continue to exist with us- at once subtle yet powerful, like the physical form of the table itself.
Inlaid across the reflective stainless-steel surface, the text entirely dissolves into its surroundings. The words and the form reinforce the idea of presence and absence held at once.
The brass is left unlacquered, allowing it to develop a living finish over time. As it gathers patina, the surface responds to its surroundings, gradually recording the space in which it sits.
