NGUMU JANKA WARNTI (ALL MADE FROM RUBBISH) SMALL VESSEL – BLACK

Ngumu Jangka Warnti Small Vessel by Johnny Nargoodah and Trent Jansen began with a trip to the local scrap metal yard, in a vague search for anything interesting. Johnny and Trent salvaged a selection of discarded aluminium mesh and used this found metal as the starting point for experimentation. Johnny and Trent designed these pieces as they made them, together beating the material with hammers, concrete blocks and tree stumps until it took on a form that they both liked. This beaten geometry was then softened by laminating New Zealand saddle leather to skin the mesh, masking its geometry and softening its idiosyncratic undulations.
