In another world and another MINDset this wood might well be imagined as fuel!! Nonetheless, it has a history , its been somewhere, its done something and its is loaded with stories for those who might spend the time reimagining them. Anyway, it is fuel for thought more than it is fuel for a fire and it isn't rubbish.

Announcing our next Circular Design Project:
TOWARDS A TIMBER BANK FOR LAUNCESTON
Waste-focused designer and maker Isaac Williams in partnership with Launceston arborists, Arbscape is a successful recipient of an NRM Northern Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Grants, facilitated through Design Tasmania.
A single felled oak tree – approximately 8–10 cubic metres of Tasmania Oak – is the starting point for something with far greater reach.
Over the next 12 months, Isaac will investigate what happens when urban trees are treated as a design resource rather than a disposal problem. The project maps existing arboricultural waste flows, examining where timber currently gets chipped, burned or landfilled, and builds a practical case for capturing and redirecting it. The immediate outcome will be objects made directly from the recovered oak, presented at the completion of the project at Design Tasmania.
The longer-term ambition that will be researched is the potential for a community-accessible infrastructure that keeps urban timber in the local design economy where it belongs.
Follow here for updates, or email info@designtasmania.com.au with CIRCULAR in the headline for direct to email updates on this and other circular projects underway.

DISTOPIAN MINDsets CALLEDout
LINKS
Since 2020, the Littered Mvmnts project by Japanese-American artist Shoji Yamasaki has intrigued, amused, and fascinated millions of people. Through a series of viral videos, he transforms discarded waste into veritable dance partners, reproducing its wind-borne movements with his own body. A seemingly simple idea, but one that reveals a profound reflection on our daily, often unconscious, relationship with the objects we leave behind.
By placing trash at the heart of his choreography, Yamasaki diverts our gaze: what is usually ignored suddenly becomes living, captivating, almost poetic. Split-screen after split-screen, the creator stages an intimate relationship between humans and their refuse, without moralizing but with a subtlety that touches on ecology, artistic expression, and understated humor.
