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.
