"Stair Chair and Interlude"
A little chair, originally intended to go in a small, dark room at the end of the corridor, with a stairway that abruptly stops.
The motif is based on the moment a poppy ruptures overnight and the petal unfurls; a silk parachute.
The base artwork here, with the back. Wanted this composition to give space to the motif above but think now that I would
have liked to live with it a while longer and given the abstraction some more locale, more inflection related to its partner image.
"I put a picture up on a wall. Then I forget there is a wall."
"I no longer know what there is behind this wall."
"I no longer know this wall is a wall."
"I no longer know what a wall is."
