The Talking Chairs

Form Over Function – The Talking Chairs

These sculptural chairs introduce a series titled “Form Over Function”. They explore the contrast between expected norms and artistic interpretation, challenging your thinking of what is and what could be.

At the time of their creations I was fascinated by Southwestern colors, motifs and forms. That interest combined with challenging norms was expressed through the creations of these chairs… I mean sculptures. Constructed of wood and finished with oil based paint.
