This is a selection of paintings from my Chairs Series that consisted of 37 portraits of chairs; old lawn chairs, chairs left in hallways, offices and classrooms, chairs used to hold doors open for people who have long exited, chairs basking in sunlight and chairs left out in the snow or on the curb. The work is a response to the anthropomorphic quality of the chairs and the implied narrative in their abandonment. Their image evokes a sense of a distant memory, a journey taken, a lost love, or an old friendship. They often elicit a feeling of loneliness, absence, dislocation.
