Portable Sigh at Energy Made Visible

Portable Sigh at Energy Made Visible

Painted steel, 2019, 123h x 71w x 70d cm

After looking at van Gogh’s painting of a chair for decades, I made a chair of my own. The sculpture followed on from my biggest piece: the Sunset Stack which had been exhausting to make. I experienced the joy of collapsing on a chair after a hard days work. So this is not a just a chair, it is gratitude for chairs. There is a tiny reference to the austerity and clean aesthetic of Shaker furniture which I admire. (2019)
