Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" xml:lang="en"> <title>Abstract</title> <p>'By turns curvaceous, fluffy, leafy, green, soft and hairy', the work of <bold>Kathryn Findlay</bold> is palpably 'future‐rustic' in all its formal and material manifestations. Guest‐editor <bold>Mark Titman</bold> explains how Findlay's designs also more subtly respond 'to the richness of a given situation, the resources and natural conditions that each site and its surrounding context reveals', coming out of an approach that has been equally influenced by her rural childhood on a farm in Scotland as almost two decades of working in Japan.</p> </abstract>
