Chrysanthemums Chair

29H x 29W x 29D inches mixed media on up-cycled vintage chair base. Strips of canvas are woven with white glue in a paper-mache fashion, thin layers of plaster are gradually built up, allowed to cure, then sanded and carved in between coats. Designs are finalized on paper then drawn freehand on the dried plaster surface with graphite and/or marker, then painted with acrylics. Carving is done on cured surfaces, intermittent with layering and sanding. Each chair is finished with coats of varnish and waxed for durability and to enrich the colors. Each is truly one-of-a-kind, completely functional, and are the ideal place to portray historic art themes, ancient artifacts, myths and legends.
