Scion

2004, Scion, printed as a negative, (25”x23”x26.5”) fabricated sheet and bar stock steel.

Thinking of a chair as a drawing I wanted to contrast the curves with rectangles.  The weight of the line and nature of its curve, when translated into material, take on the tactile relationships of springiness and stiffness.  When translated further into a relationship of use these qualities create the tactile sensation of sitting on a metal pillow.
