The Chair Project

As part of the Open Artists Studios down in Whanganui, March 2014, 35 artists from around New Zealand were each given an old school chair. The resulting exhibition saw a wide variety of interpretations and concepts. My entwining, soft sculpture was called ‘Subsume’. It referenced both a present and absent body and hinted at the gut-churning anxiety often experienced during our formative years.
