Inaugural exhibition

The inaugural exhibition opens the studio to the public for the first time. Inaugural exhibition gathers the first body of work made under the name By Todah: benches, drawings, and the objects that sat beside them in the room.

Visitors enter through a quiet hall. The first piece is set low, so the eye meets the grain before the wall. Light stays warm and still. Nothing is staged as a spectacle. The room is arranged so each work can be walked around, sat with, and left alone.

What is on view

The exhibition is in three parts. The bench holds the seating pieces. The evening holds the drawings made after the shop closed. The drive holds the smaller works carried between the two.

  • A seating piece in oiled timber, shown without a plinth.

  • Drawings from the first winter in the studio.

  • A short note on how each work was made, printed and left on the bench.

The room should feel occupied, even when nobody is in it.
