Current Thinky Thought:
The deconstruction of chairs exposes the intrinsic nature of the material, allowing for the embedded history to be embraced. Contemplating the relationship between objects and memories through the dissection of nostalgia, the work sits differently in space, the cherished mundane object is transformed. Once the object is displaced, the memories create a liminal space where the remnants guide their new life. The physical marks left are the direct representations of history, they are highlighted as embellishments rather than blemishes, solidifying the ephemeral.
