Artist Statement:
This film is a visual art, science, and ecology exploration which traces the historic, genetic, material, and poetic journeys of a 1950s teak bed found in a Singapore junk store back to a location in Southeast Asia where the original teak tree may have grown. The project brings together cross-cultural natural histories, micro- and macro-arboreal influences and DNA timber tracking technology.
