where my work is


My work has developed by using the chair as a whole, and having only one thick layer of wax on the base of the chair. I've included a collections of old glass bottles, and labels. I've asked people to come along chose a glass bottle, and a label then to sit on the wax chair for as little or as long as they like but asked them to document the time they started to the time finish. Once they’ve finished sitting on the chair, I’ve asked them to visual express their thoughts that they may of had whilst sitting on the chair. I want everyone to show their thoughts by carving into the wax base then after doing this to put the wax they have carve out into their glass bottle. I will then after each person who has carved into the base re-heat the wax so that what they have carve is destroyed and unable to been seen again. By doing this there is issues of a presence and absence but to me this process is about capturing and creating the history of people coming and going who have sat on the chair.
