My ArtBeat: Chair project

Chair project

This is the chair which, over several months, I will be re-upholstering with my handmade fabrics. It is Part of a project in conjunction with Textiles and the American museum. The photo shows the chair in its current, original state.

I enjoy a challenge when I work, and often find that challenge by creating a project which is meticulous from start to finish. I am not tied to any particular area of art, and enjoy sculpture and textiles as well as ceramics. I am interested in detail, texture and colour, and try to use materials that are unusual but inexpensive and can be found in the everyday household. People often comment on my patience when carrying out a project, as
particularly in sculpture my tasks are very repetitive.

This is a quote by Leontyne Price which closely reflects my views on creating art:

"Art is the only thing you cannot punch a button for. You must do it the Old-fashioned way. Stay up really late and burn the midnight oil. There are no compromises."
