In a new body of work at Charles Burnand, Zipperer mines the loaded silence of the cypress forests of Ebenezer Creek to create modern day artifacts of a lost history.
In the “Euchee Bench,” Zipperer imagines that the natural landscape around Ebenezer Creek grew, from the depths of the earth, a piece of furniture for the Euchee, the offspring of the sun. Constructed of a single piece of Verde Guatemala, the bench is inspired by natural geological forms, and serves the simple function of offering a place to rest. Placed on the banks of Ebenezer Creek, it would look like a natural outcrop of the cypress forest.
