This project is based in a study on varnish and wood: varnish as a medium that reveals a surface, and varnish as a material that reveals itself. Through the collection of abandoned hardwood in the streets, later sanded and revarnished in layers, the works show the value we give to the ‘skin’ of an object, and how varnish can act, not only as an adornment, but as a medium of expression. A material that both dresses and undresses the wood.
