Also featured in the exhibition is an item of sculptural serveware, crafted from an array of sustainable and repurposed materials and food waste. Drawing inspiration from the ever-present mounds of waste, the
Mound Collection incorporates materials such as hemp, clay, lime, plaster, buckwheat husks, macadamia nut shells, and other remnants, including those from the construction of
Heiter X's previous installation '
Terra Firma,' as well as from food waste generated by events where the installation was showcased. Each item in the collection is unique, handcrafted with distinctive attributes and inherent imperfections.
