Ghost Garden: The powerful growth from each branch is supportive of the whole and extends beyond the boundary of function. We live our lives alongside nature while utilizing their peaceful offerings. Ghost Garden embodies our sense of hope for a co-existence and healing around our landscapes. In the absence of what once was, nature will come back.
Aratani・Fay is a collaborative furniture design studio by Ayako Aratani and Evan Fay, based in Pontiac, MI. Working together and independently, the duo shares a studio and workshop, collaborating and exhibiting projects together. "Our work embraces irregularity through craft, focusing on intuitive constructions and spontaneous form building - seeking rhythms that connect and grow each object to realize a balance in the spectrum of metaphor vs. utility."
