"Acid Moss Chair 2023."
Another Guerrilla REupholstery collaboration with artist Julie Ann Sheridan
We made this for our friend Eddie who gave so much help to our daughter for her Spanish A Level (now doing a Spanish degree like) cheers Eddie and thanks for saying "do whatever you want" with the chair because there's no way any normal commission is going to end up like this, let's face it.
Chair found on street in Carmarthen.
Julie's first drawing based on a foliose lichen idea and some soft sculpture legs similar to some others she had recently made. As the chair progressed I realised adding a pattern to the legs would be too much.
But I didn't want to just cover the arms and legs, I wanted an organic, lumpy, bumpy finish - an antidote to the reupholstery work I do every day.
So I just stuffed bits of waste Dacron into the gaps in a random way and finished with lots of hand sewing.
Further Guerrilla REupholstery collaborations in the pipeline for next year - watch this space. Or commission one yourself whydontcha?
