Thibault Philip gives leftover intestine usually destined for industrial sausage production, a new life as light objects. He pushes the possibilities of the material to the limit, choosing a slow and dedicated making process to transform woven intestine threads and and dyed intestine leaf into a design that appears fragile yet deliberate. His work draws inspiration from ancient andvforgotten crafts, such as those of Inuit and Sub-Saharan communities, while also evoking associations with stained glass or a bird’s nest. The light sculpture is dyed with cuttlefish ink and madder, casting a soft, warm glow.
