Created and displayed at Wharton Esherick Museum's themed exhibition on chairs.

This piece was created to be kind of anti chair. A lot of chair design and construction becomes so laborsome with delicate precise joinery. These "labor of loves" begin to lack emotion and feeling because of how time consuming they become.

I wanted to make this work in one day to captured the emotion behind it. The piece featured a birds nest with a front screen placed where the heart would be. It has been pulled open to beg the question has love escaped or return to nest again.

The cedar shingles have been placed the wrong way to show that while it may be protected it will eventually break down due to the elements like rain falling downwards.
