Low VOC is an exhibition of prototypes created by artists and designers from the San Diego and Tijuana areas, made primarily from wood composite panels called Naturally Bonded Boards (NB boards). NB boards are non-toxic, biodegradable and recyclable, and are made from sawdust and post-industrial/post-consumer and recycled fibers with no added formaldehyde.
These panels were developed in collaboration between mechanical engineer John F. Hunt (now retired) of the USDA Forest Service’s Forest Products Laboratory and artist/designer Christine Lee. Several rounds of different NB panels were produced between 2010 and 2014. Curator Christine Lee invited other artists/designers to not only experiment with how they could use this material for end-use applications, but also to consider how the adhesives and finishes used might have a positive or negative impact.
