Assignment was... make a chair to the scale of a 5 yr old, after the style of a particular art movement/artist using repeating patterns, 3 dimensional objects and your own style in addition to the style of the artist chosen, oh and must support 40 pounds.
My artist... Salvador Dali after his piece Melting Clock at Moment of First Explosion (below)
Some wise words from the old chap I discovered while researching his work...
“The only thing that the world will not have enough of is exaggeration.”
“There is only one difference between a madman and me - The madman thinks he is sane - I know I am mad.”
"I don't do drugs. I am drugs."
Thanks Salvador, that's nuggets of gold right there.
Back to it, here is my Dali-esque chair/sculpture:
Had my crit today, seemed to go over well. People especially liked that the rocker went side to side as opposed to front to back, and also the way the clocks were constructed. Also, my professor stated that I harnessed, interpreted and recreated Dali very well.
Phew, now nap time.
