This work was finished at the beginning of the Thrive Together Network virtual residency in September 2023. From my Take a Seat series - it is the first to upend the chair. I was thinking about being tipped over or hanging by a thread when a person is misaligned or experiencing intense stress, and that through the seat we can find stability and comfort. I’m also very drawn to man made elements in landscapes - like industrial pipes and telephone lines. They both lead your eye in and out, and are a reminder of humanity in the landscape. The landscape in this piece was inspired by the Crooked Creek which runs behind my neighborhood and feeds into the Eno River.
