Works

Curving

2022, white cement, plaster, wood, sand from Israel, sand from Iceland, cockroach, pewter, coins, handmade incense, stapler and a photograph print

Curving was created for Roi Carmeli’s “house residency” program, BULB. The designated room, directly connected to the living room, offered a unique dynamic between the spaces. In response, Schwartz designed a piece that blurs the boundaries between private and public. The centerpiece is a curved bench for visitors and artworks to sit on or within, with smaller works integrated as structural supports or armrests, merging functionality and artistic expression.
