Point of View

2012, Readymade chair and acrylic, 20"w x 40"h x 24"d

A chair is a both an object and a space which engages the viewer when observing a work of art. In this instance, the chair is further implicated in the viewing process by becoming the painting, rather than as an innocuous accessory. The viewer is thus invited to distance himself from established practice. In this distancing of oneself from traditional parameters around the discerning act of viewing, there is an opportunity to discover a more encompassing approach to both the observation and the production of paintings.
