Dining Chair- 2005

oh well...so this blog isnt in any chronological order... I decided that I want this blog to be a place I can let things be a bit freer...no strict order, or being marked on what I do here!...this is an idea I had in my journal (2005) that hasnt yet been worked to 3D. its a quick sketch and not a polished drawing I would exhibit..its a note for me...a future possibility...What is it with chairs? they keep coming my way!

Daddy Armchair - 2005

Hybrid Object.
Upholstered Sculpture.
‘People who are not present but leave an imprint on our thoughts.’

Hydrophobia - 2005

This work is a comment on the domestication of the human. I use the everyday object as a metaphor for our domesticated selves. This works spider-like form represents the more primitive beginnings of the human. The domestic sink i see as also representing the element of water, where all life originated according to the theories of evolution. This sink sculpture was exhibited with other domestic hybrid objects in a house-like setting and played the part of one of the members of a 'family'. The sink i see as playing the teenager of that family, between stages of metamorphosis, neither an adult or a child and self-conscious of its changing body.
