I was inspired by Frank Owen Gehry's Easy Edges -Wiggle Side Chair (1972) for this project.
In terms of fabric selection, I chose the unique Japanese fabric, 先染め布（saki some nuno). This fabric is characterized by its unique texture and gradation of colors.
The texture of the fabric represents the material of the chair (fiberboard), and the specially cut color represents the change of light and shadow of the chair.
The composition of two chairs facing each other looks like two family members/ friends having a happy conversation. It is a metaphor for the post-epidemic life nowadays.
The distance between each other is getting more and more distant, and the simple gathering and chatting has become a thing to be cherished.
I hope that one day we can resume the good old days and talk about life happily!

Great composition and the fabric complements it perfectly. Quite a striking piece and so in the now.
ReplyDeleteI love this. The fabric is perfect, and the whole composition is wonderfully restful. I feel like I want to sit and chat!
ReplyDeleteSo appropriate for our lives now. Beautifully done Momo. I really like the fabrics you have used - as Linda says: So restful. And the embroidered grasses just soften the background and make it more interesting!
ReplyDeleteI think the subject, the fabric, the background, the execution and the sentiment are all perfect! Yes, let's hope it isn't too much longer before life returns to some sort of social normality!
ReplyDeleteWow, Momo! That is such a striking interpretation of the theme. Beautifully and simply expressed. I think we all identify with your sentiments about our post-pandemic lives. Really sentitively chosen fabrics. Hilary
ReplyDeleteChoosing to create a conversation with two chairs is particularly special at the moment and I agree with others comments about your fabric choices!
ReplyDeletePerfect fabric for a perfect piece, great story too. Well chosen colours.
ReplyDeleteI love the symbolism of your two chairs and our ability to communicate in these times. And your fabric selections and composition make this a beautiful piece.
ReplyDeleteWell done on a really lovely piece of work so beautifully executed and so in tune with our world at the moment. A really good take on expressing what we are all going through. Your fabric choice was great and looks as if it has lovely texture.
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics are gorgeous and you have put them to good use. I love the curves in this.
