Who flattened the tenderness of home?
A traditional wooden rolling pin bristles with rows of forged iron spikes, converting a kitchen tool into a medieval weapon.
What you see
The photograph shows a weathered wooden rolling pin resting on a flour-dusted workbench. Protruding along the entire length of its cylindrical wooden barrel are several rows of sharp, hand-forged black iron spikes with oxidized tips. A wooden rolling pin is fused with forged iron spikes, retaining its smooth turning handles while transforming its body into the likeness of a medieval spiked club. Scratches on the aged wood meet the coarse, uneven surface of hammered metal. Domestic comfort collides with violent destruction. An everyday utensil associated with gentle baking and home care is turned into an offensive weapon, stripping away the peaceful ritual of preparing food and replacing it with the threat of severe physical harm.
