Future Artifacts is a series comprised of three sets of wooden combs. The combs in each set are designed and fabricated to fit together as a whole. In this work, Merryn Omotayo Alaka and Sam Frésquez are interested in looking at the brush and combs as technologies that have not and will not evolve overtime because of the simplicity and efficiency of their design. These objects simultaneously connect us to both past and future generations through rituals of grooming and ornamentation.
