Joanna Kori creates paper casts of objects and people. The sculptures are cured in linseed oil, which makes them translucent and responsive to light. Kori exhibits these everyday items in such a way as to suggest a “future archaeology” – a piecing together of domestic activity from a bygone era, using remnants of current-day implements. The objects Kori chooses allude to contemporary daily routines, everyday work tasks and "the rituals of hospitality." Raining Tools (2025) responds to psychoanalyst Darian Leader’s 2016 prediction that increased digital interaction may alter the physiology of our hands, rendering traditional tool skills obsolete. A veil of suspended items used by artisans – hammers, paintbrushes, saws, pliers and set squares – cascades down and across the space, drawing inspiration from Leonardo da Vinci's 1510 drawing A Cloudburst of Material Possessions.
