Chair and Space
h
The intention of this sculpture was to create a piece that relates both with the actual found object, the floor and the surrounding space around it. I wanted to deconstruct the chair so it was no longer a chair but still holds most characteristic of household furniture.
The floor itself is split up into two sections, the left side painted white and the right side lay with a red carpet. I wanted to create a dialog between these two areas but also ultimately connect them together. This I executed with paint, the fluidity and the freedom of paint allows me to be much more volatile. I painted the sides of the chair white and experimented with linier brush strokes of both black and white. This was to pull the opposing sides together where the painted lines stretch across the width of the sculpture.
The rigid strong sculptural elements of the piece give a sense of masculinity to the work. This I feel is strengthened by the harsh linier painting across the board. However the paint splashes on the carpet subtlety break this apart.
The eye is drawn across the whole section of the sculpture which creates a relationship with all three elements I intended to play with.

Deconstruction Sculpture
k
Deconstruction sculpture was about awaking parts of household objects we take for granted. Through the breakdown of material I wanted to separate the chair into each individual element. I took apart the object in a very structured and precious way. I removed every staple, every screw, each part of material and the different types of wood so the object was no more. This project was not only about viewing everyday objects in concern of material but looking into space and scale of the object in different laid out presentations. Once the object had been deconstructed into its separate elements I took them outside and tried to spread them over as larger surface area as possible. I intentionally spread out the materials along the floor in a neat rectangle. I wanted to be able to distinguish each individual object and material.
I also wanted to lay the individual parts down in some structured manner so that it did not end up being a mound of rubbish. I mainly focused on colour and shape. I like the subtle changes in tone leading the eye from one side to the other.
