Dawit Dersolign’s works are colourful, playful and decorative – and often functional. Dawit’s work isn’t made to solely sit in a gallery, his practical creations fill his life and his house. Everything is made to be useful. Dawit’s work incorporates traditional Ethiopian elements with his own unique interpretations of colour, pattern and material. He uses found materials and recycles objects from his workplace, the tip and beyond.

This exhibition presents sculptural, mixed media and interactive works made from reclaimed industrial waste such as pool noodles, Christmas baubles, thermal blankets, packing cardboard and even recycled industrial glue.
