Library: Theme and Variations

Library: Theme and Variations was produced for an exhibition at Art House in Atlanta, Georgia. I silk-screened the chair pattern on the backs of discarded library catalog cards, with instructions for cutting out and assembling and embellishing the chairs. I distributed hundreds of them, starting at the exhibition and for a year or so after—there are only 51 chairs in my collection, all the others are somewhere else.

I made the IDO Shoes for an exhibition at the Peabody Historical Society and Museum in Peabody, MA, for which contemporary artists created pieces based on objects in the PHS collection. The IDO Shoes were inspired by a pair of antique leather wedding slippers.
