40 Winks
25mm Black transparent acrylic
40 Winks

 

Constructed from 25mm thick acrylic, 40 Winks plays on the relationship between 'chair' and 'sitter', whereby the chair's role as an object in which to sit or sometimes doze-off, becomes visually interpreted through the literal and surreal form of a figure, sitting, slumped back and relaxed.

By itself the chair appears inhabited but on a larger scale, a group of these chairs appear to populate and inhabit an environment, while their relaxed and slumbered posture aim to evoke a sense of calm and tranquility.

Exhibited at Aquascutum, Regent Street, 2008.
