Engaging with the material. This work describes the experiment of fully immersing oneself in a material and working with its structures and properties. The experiment aims to demonstrate how a potentially more expressive product(11) can emerge through the symbiosis(10) of human, material and space. I do not regard stones as dead matter(12) but as living materials, as individuals (13) that communicate and thus help to influence the design. Stones are alive, just as, for example, wood is: in my perception, they simply live at a slightly slower pace than plants, animals and humans. In modern society, characterised by speed and efficiency, this perception has tended to fade into the background. An experiment with a material that possesses structures, in order to work with them. The structure helps to determine the form. The result is not predetermined. I engage in a process between human and stone and consciously refrain from setting a specific goal for the end product.
