- Cameron Lasson is an interdisciplinary artist based in Providence, RI. His work draws attention to the minutiae of our material relationships in everyday life: what often goes unnoticed and fades into our peripheral consciousness. In his practice he investigates the duality of industry and craft by creating objects with hybrid identities as a means of exposing the absurdity and arbitrariness of our everyday built world. His work often co-opts found industrial artifacts with handcrafted techniques, blurring the line between the industrial and synthetic, the crafted and natural.
MATERIALS: Mild Steel, Sea Stones
DIMENSIONS: L 18” - W 18” - H 48”
Sauna Stove considers the soul that might inhabit this piece during—and after—years of use. The patina is a naturally occurring oxidation that exists on the metal surface when fire is burned inside, a physical manifestation of the spirit of the stove. It was designed in consideration of the contradictions between the industrial and traditional, and inspired by manufactured objects like the Moka Pot, the Smokey Joe Barbeque and the traditionally crafted, wood-fired sauna stove.
