dionysios on precarious design: turning found objects into sites of care and functional ritual
"Precariousness is not weakness; it's a form of truth. It forces you to stay alert, to remain awake to the present moment."
"I often think less like a "maker" and more like a choreographer of experience: how someone interacts with the work, what they feel without realizing why, and how they might leave changed."
"They carry memory. A found object has already lived a life before it enters my work. Scratches, dents, traces of touch, passage of time. When I use it, I'm not starting from zero; I'm in conversation with that past."
Precarious Design is a series of objects and installations that examine fragility, impermanence, and improvisation through materials and form. Works inhabit a space between utility and artifact, carrying visible traces of time, use, and care. Found and salvaged materials act as carriers of memory, with scratches, dents, and corrosion informing new meaning. Fragility is presented as a mode of resilience that demands presence and attention rather than weakness. Projects transform instability into functional, ritual-infused objects where scarcity and care are central design principles. Presentation contexts included sculptural interventions and design showcases that highlight material histories and human interaction.
