Space-Time Transformation Furniture
Space-Time Transformation Furniture is a series of functional art furniture pieces designed for interior and/or exterior use. The interior pieces are made of sustainably grown wood, painted with eco-friendly paint. The exterior pieces are made of recyclable painted steel. Both interior and exterior pieces are designed for public or private use.
The series was created around the concept of visualizing the movement of objects through space and time. Simple symbolic chair and table shapes were first designed and constructed. Those objects were then visualized, as they might appear moving through space and time in various directions, in a kind of stop action progression. The symbolic traces of all or part of the objects as they might appear when they move, were then constructed and attached to the original symbolic chair and table objects.
In some cases chairs and tables are grouped together as they might appear in their normal everyday use. Others are presented as single pieces such as a moving chair, and/or table. Most of the pieces are functional to the extent that people can sit in the chairs, and/or use the tables in the traditional way.
The intention aesthetically is to create objects derived from this unique method of crystallizing the traces of movement of the objects through space and time, in a way that forms an unexpected and new kind of functional art form.
