I have been working with plastic molded chairs since 2009. The chairs have formed part of a series of installations and lighting strategies for contemporary dance productions. In each, the chairs functioned as a primary light source and a conceptual device. The chairs are usually fitted with a domestic use 2D 4pin compact fluorescent (16w) globe which is mounted its underside. During Covid-19 I have taken some time to revisit past projects reconnecting with materials, images, objects and ideas to see how to develop these further. For this installation, I wanted to revisit the chairs and experiment with them purely as objects. With the addition of an external light source, the intention was to think through their form and materiality.
2 x green square plastic stools (47x34x34cm), 2 green rectangular plastic stools
(47x41x34cm), 10w LED Flood light (10w) and cerise tissue paper.
