HIGH MOOR 1901: Blackened by brackish waters and tumultuous seas, four meters long oak, 100-years old planks from ancient high moorland. VAREL appears magically, overwhelms the senses, inspires fantasies. The structure is extraordinary. Seamlessly worked from an oak plank over a hundred years old and four meters long. Its surface, emotional. To the touch, original, wrought iron nails. The colors of the moor; their incomprehensible depth. Signs of wear, written by time onto glorious wood, like an ancient diary. Steel pyramids, once crude post caps give rhythm to the solid oak drawer. Revealing, concealing. Silently, lightly floating; its innermost being at the touch of a finger.
