The Wing Back Chair..... Inspiration and Admiration

GREAT COLOR COMBO

FUNKY YET FUN

So another source of inspiration for me is the wing back chair. I don't know why but it has always been something I have loved. Something that is particularly great about the chairs are the fact that they can pull off crazy patterning and upholstering on a variety of styles of chairs. Also, that each chair can represent a personality type. Within my work I hope to portray my personality through my use of forms ( the structure and frame of the chair) and patterning (upholstery on the chair). I want what I make to be something I want to use and own for myself, very much the same way that I think a carpenter of wing back chairs would enjoy sitting in the chair they crafted.

I hope at some point to bring in some more hand build aspect to my work. I can see the bottoms of my pots having a bit more of a reference to chairs and feet of chairs....... we will see.
