"The Dining Room Chair" is about a chair that has been in my family for several generations Like a photograph in which it appears, it is a saved artifact and index to the past. I have disassembled, reassembled, traced, embroidered, cast and juxtaposed it with a variety of materials and texts in order to explore ideas of indexicality, the archive and the frame. The resulting sculptural and fabric works address the roles of photography, writing, and art-making in our efforts to deny death. |
