I’m interested in awkwardness of form and attempts at balance in human and nonhuman bodies. This piece explores the body of a chair that mimics the exaggerated stance of the human in contrapposto, possibly mocking the human’s leisurely stance and at the same time perhaps genuinely demonstrating its desire to appear human - or at least as important as a human (how important is that?) - and demand recognition of its chairness without inviting us to sit. There is, after all, no seat. The chair might be playfully inviting us to pay attention to the nonhuman actors around us.
