This wonderful dimpled sycamore table 'The afterlife table', was created by Silvan to hold the 200 amulets of artist Katie Paterson, commissioned for Folkestone Triennial 2025.
"Originally installed within the circular interior of a Martello tower, the table responds directly to the architecture of the space. Its sweeping, curvilinear form echoes the defensive geometry of the tower while creating an intimate landscape for viewing." Silvan
Katie Paterson created 200 amulets, recreated from historical collections around the world. Each amulet has been crafted by Paterson from materials sourced from disappearing landscapes and fragile ecosystems. Stones from islands threatened by rising sea levels, glacial remnants, and materials from fire-ravaged forests, then transformed into objects that serve as reflections on loss, connection, and renewal.
'Afterlife' runs from 19 June – 6 September 2026 at the Collective, Edinburgh.
