With a rack on top to hang your clothing, this is a chair to get dressed, and undressed, by. I like making furniture that you can dance with, furniture that is participatory, playful and suggestive. History and function are not ignored, yet I allow them merely as chosen limitations. First I begin with an idea and then I forage for found wood. In this case I selected sugar maple tree branches from Dodge Hill in New Boston. Next I peel the bark, then steam bend and dry the wood. The sculpted single piece seat and steam bent back slats are made of black walnut and finished with a mixture of oil and varnish. The sugar maple legs and rack are finished with black acrylic and the playful hieroglyphic color pencil marks are covered with lacquer. My goal is to participate with life, art, truth and ritual. By allowing the process to record itself I thus communicate a personal statement about the present.
