"In House is the documentation of making a collection of pieces using
domesticated manufacturing techniques. It uses the architecture,
appliances and materials found within my small home to create an even
smaller factory. I have replicated processes such as rotational casting
by using the washing machine, brake pressing using the door and steam
bending using the microwave, with the language of the objects defined by
these parameters" - David Steiner

This is lovely. I am especially impressed by the transformation of the blender into a lathe and the reminder about using doors as right angle benders. David Steiner is clearly confident with various manufacturing techniques to be able to pull this off with such simple elegance. The DIY rotormoulder is wicked! That would work well for candle wax and chocolate. Delicious chocolate. Now I keep looking around the house and visualising the various items that can be destroyed *ahem* transformed.
