By Cathrine Raben Davidsen Material: Collaged Matek panels with custom steel hinges and brass detailing Year: 2026 Dimensions: H160 x W124 x D2 cm (three-panel folding screen, variable when open) Edition: 18 + 3 Artist's Proofs (AP) Parsifal 01 is a folding screen composed of collaged Matek panels connected with custom steel hinges, moving between painting, object and architecture, functioning both as image and spatial divider. The screen is made from Matek, Mater's circular material produced from waste streams including coffee shell waste, sawdust and recycled e-waste plastic. It has a dense, tactile quality, somewhere between stone, terrazzo and industrial composite, while still carrying traces of its organic origins. In the artist's words: "I am interested in this tension between the manufactured and the deeply physical: industrial yet almost archaeological in appearance. Working directly with the Matek panels allows the surface to operate simultaneously as image and object. The material already contains a fragmented history of transformation, which becomes central to the logic of collage, layering and the folding structure. The custom steel hinges emphasise its architectural quality and allow the work to continuously shift in space, opening, closing, concealing and revealing. The title references Parsifal from medieval mythology and opera, the wandering seeker moving between worlds in search of meaning or transformation. I am interested in the folding screen as a threshold object: something that both conceals and reveals, producing shifting perspectives as the viewer moves around it."
