While attending college at the Maryland Institute, College of Art, studying Interior Architecture and Design, I had a studio class taught by a man named Kamran Sedaghatkish. (If Kamran’s reading this, he should be impressed that I remembered how to spell his name. I know how to pronounce it too!) One of the first assignments he gave us was to draw the “essence of a chair”. What? Well basically we were to throw out everything aesthetic about a chair and figure out what it was at it’s most basic form, then we were to design around that very basic function. I loved the idea of this! As long as the chair was doing its job, why not use your wildest imagination to make it look how you wanted? Since that assignment, I’ve loosely based my life and my art around it. Let it be functional, but let it be new, funky, and completely unique. I doubt you’ll ever see a dark brown wing chair in my house. The jack-in-the-box is an icon in toyland. It’s one of the most recognizable of all the classic toys. Such a simple idea, but so wonderful in its simplicity! So what better place to start? The idea was attractive to me because it’s nearly impossible to get bored with them. For me they involve all manner of craftiness – woodworking, sewing, painting, sculpting, and assemblage. Not to mention that the possibilities for different designs are endless. The question I’m asked most often at art openings is, “What in the world made you think to do this?” I’ve never found a succinct answer. I guess I could say, that they are everything I would ever want in a piece of art, and they utilize every art-making skill I have. Perhaps I’ll just simply say, “This is the essence of me”. |
