Chair (Compression, Impression)







I started this piece with the intention of making a chair, and became confused when I began wondering if anything was a chair as long as you can still sit on it. My fascination with chairs always was the impression that the legs would make on the floor, usually on carpet. But the impression is always the same. In this sort of box I've created my own design with which I leave impressions. For my first experiment, I sat on this "chair" in clay. In these pictures, the chair is on flat carpet. I'm going to continue to explore more with this on different surfaces in the future.

A Conversation with Plato: On Memory




contents on the table include: stack of photographs (my own), a wooden box (which i did not make) containing sewn words of a passage by plato's symposium.

the full piece includes me, opening the box and reciting in order the words that are chopped up in the box.
