Sheath your sorrows.

A chair is an extension of the organic human form, an after-image of its anatomy. Conversely, it is structurally dependant on the most rigid and ordered of human ideas, namely, the right angle. One of the most elementary expressions of the right angle is the cross, the Christian myth of a ‘man-god’ is unavoidably implicated, his death a consummation of the concord with materiality. And so the chair becomes representative of concepts dealing not only with religion and mortality or materiality but with the broader notions of humanity’s philosophical interactions with itself.
