The end of a wonderful #futuretalks023. Thought provoking conversations, mind blowing techniques, re-situating conservation processes in community not materiality, and sponges. Thanks so much to everyone involved. I'm off to contemplate while posing precariously on a Blow chair

[Icon Modern Materials Group @IconMMN]

Final day at #futuretalks023 and off to a great start with the conservation and collection of the icon blow chair

[Icon Modern Materials Group @IconMMN]

So many inspiring and innovative interventive treatments at #futuretalks023. From reviving latex and rubber, to laser cleaning plastics and finally methycellulose foams #doublesyringemethod
