purpleponyartCatching up again...here's my second project for Wednesday's class themed around memory and place. It's made completely from thrifted materials and things around the house. It's based on two photos of my grandparents home--one of the basement and, if you look really close, a transparency with my husband sitting in the living room. My grandparents lived in their house for about 50 years, so it was something of a museum. I don't know the providence of the chair or the pillow. Who sat there? Who made the pillow? Why was it relegated to the basement Oh, and by the way, my grandparents had a tiki bar with beaded curtains :-D
This was a fun project, but it was full of challenges. The vintage frame was not straight. The mat was hand painted that wonderful yellow shade already and the original print inside had a date of 1973. Still, I liked the square shape, which is why I bought it.
The title is Whose Chair is There? and it generated discussion about what we reveal and conceal in our homes. For example, the basement is usually not meant for guests.
