the way i feel about chairs

"Furniture is our first sculptural encounter, after the body of the mother and slightly before the interior volumes of architecture."
Gord Peteran

chairs are anthropomorphic, human scale, can be sad or sexy, patient or unwelcoming. can show the imprint of time spent, ghosts of use. practical sculpture that can continue to be sculpted by interactions with life and sunlight, rain and waiting.

Bedroom portrait

This is a painting of Alli and Zeke's bedroom. I want to do a series of these because for me the bedroom is the part of the house that i pay the least attention to. I think that this is the room that is the most personal, not just because we sleep there, have sex there, get dressed/undressed there; but because we hide there. It might be a space that two people share, but you don't really share it with lots of people as a rule. Its a refuge. I have the idea that the way people treat their bedrooms might say something about them. My bedroom is a mess. Eventually I will paint a picture of it.

Side note: Alli is the best. I told her about this idea and she got really excited and wanted me to paint her room so basically this is a collaboration. she took a beautiful polaroid that i used for the painting.
