I've had a thing for chairs since the beginning of time. When I started carving foam I realized that suddenly I didn't have to deal with limits on shapes. It was a very liberating realization and, yielded some wonderfully wacky anthropomorphic stuff. I had originally wanted to do a stretched version of this design, more along the lines of a love seat but, I didn't have the space for it . As it is, it's nearly 5'across

Some of my fondest child hood memories, oddly enough, involve being let to climb on public sculpture. I remember climbing all over Picasso's goat bronze and Miro's moon bird at the MOMA when I was 5 years old. I have encouraged my child to embrace the same behaviour. Bronze and big sculpture aren't for sissies. If it's up for standing the test of time, it's up for kids climbing on it. In my opinion, Henry Moore's are never more beautiful than when children are climbing on them and sheep are nibbling the grass around their bases. That was the fun of sculpting with Macy's. Just about everything was for climbing on. No object was sacred beyond having fun with. It could all take a beating. Taking the above written into consideration, I designed these chairs as sculpture for sitting in. They're pretty comfortable and from certain angles, it's hard to tell that they're chairs at all.
