Sensing the Wood Fired Oven strives to elicit a full sensory experience of the outdoor wood fired oven through expressive and layered imagery and as told through four wood fired oven bakers: Juli Vanderhoop, Jeffrey Hammelman, Noah Elbers, and Rob Gurwitt. The outdoor wood fired oven is an example of communal outdoor infrastructure which activates many of the human senses. It also can alleviate isolation and food insecurity and increase mental wellbeing and connection to others and the natural environment. If built and used appropriately, it is very fuel efficient. The outdoor wood burning oven is a brilliant example of stacking functions for ecological and human health.
