Curated by Luna Goldberg

This exhibition traces Luke Jenkins' sustained exploration of material as both subject and collaborator. Bringing together works created over the last decade, the show highlights his ongoing experimentation with wood. Over time, Jenkins has developed a practice rooted in experimentation, in which wood is reclaimed, reshaped, and tested through a wide range of techniques, from CNC carving and thermal modification to inventive joinery, sandblasting, and even the interventions of termites. His work continually asks what materials can do, how they change under pressure, and how their transformations might open up new ways of making. Jenkins' projects move fluidly between the functional and the conceptual. At times, scraps are reimagined into benches, tables, or wall pieces; elsewhere, termite-eaten planks or weathered ash panels become sculptural surfaces that speak to decay, resilience, and renewal. By embracing both craft and chance, utility and experimentation, Jenkins' practice unfolds as an ongoing dialogue with his materials one that reflects the passage of time, the forces of nature, and the possibilities of transformation.
