Karina Presttun

Karina Presttun creates sculptural objects from discarded materials, particularly textiles and wood shavings. The thin wood sheets are moistened, ironed, laminated, and cut into a stable surface that looks like wood but behaves like textile. In 2022, she began sewing zippers onto the surfaces, which developed into a modular system where panels can be zipped together and adapted to the space. The forms draw inspiration from fashion and music, moving between body, object, and garment.
