This is a natural product used to lacquer timber. It is harvested from the branches of trees. The Laq is the dung of beetles that infest a tree. When it is mixed with a solvent such as methylated spirits it can be applied to timber. It has a dark reddish colour on application and a matt finish. Similar to shellac but you don't need to kill the beetle to harvest it.

What I liked: the color relationship between the wood and the paint on the wall, and the regular vertical lines of the door frames.

Some of the 4x8 strand board by Tommy Williams

We made a few trips from the garage carrying the strandboard stacked on the carts. We had too much on our first trip and the cart tipped over when we crossed a doorsill. We didn't make the same mistake again.

Ai Weiwei: Making Sense

PENDANT (TOILET PAPER), 2021

Marble

Toilet paper -a seemingly worthless item-was suddenly much sought after when it became scarce during the Covid-19 pandemic. Artist Ai Weiwei was particularly struck by this because toilet paper was a luxury when he was growing up in China.

By carving this roll in marble on a grand scale, he memorialises a moment when we were forced to recognise the value of ordinary things.
