Teak Road

Davis Lucy

Part magic, part science, part eco-historical investigation, Jalan Jati traces real & imagined journeys of a teak bed found in Singapore across Southeast Asia to the possible site of original tree using DNA tracking technology. A project on memories of wood, trees and people. (Much of the imagery is from woodprints of the original bed.)
