Lino-Table
Linotable plays with everyone’s inherent desire to impart and eternalize. Old tabletops in Bars and Taverns are full of notes and messages which were cut into the wooden surface over decades and fill it up like a grown ornament. On this semi-public place, information, street poetry and artistic ambitions get manifested.The table becomes an abstract document of time for all people that present themselves on it. Linotable uses this fact to create a legal and more controlled possibility to leave messages.The linoleum coated surface is perfectly suitable
fro being cut and carved into (linocut). Afterwards, the tabletop is used as a negative to take off prints of the relief. The prints create a new presence of the messages.They are relieved of their context and transferred to a new and more accepted media.
