Medium : Oil on board / Image size : 30cm x 30cm / Framed under glass with mat
The bare, unpretentious form of the simple old wooden chair, its weathered patina and its imagined history beckoned me during Melbourne's lockdowns and I allowed myself to reflect on the metaphor of the empty chair and its visual interplay with others and their shadows. This is work 1 in the suite of 6.
Don't you agree that empty chairs carry a presence in absence?
