Chest

Intimacy within

For this sculpture, I wanted to create piece that locks itself away whilst only using its own materials. I thought a chest would be symbolic of a secretive space, and therefore be a good item to build. I had to organise the raw materials from the original sofa in a way that allows me to then rebuild the object into a chest. My idea was to use every piece of the original sofa, and to lock all the materials I didn’t use within its self. This sculpture is about the changing of physical identity and hiding away within, therefore creating an intimate private space for the object.
