I like the sculpture. I like how its use as a chair to be sat on is subverted. I like hanging mirrors high on a wall for the same reason.
Do you like putting cling film over lavatories ……..or is that just me?
Eeuw! Just you!
I thought so ……. oh dear
…Still figuring out how to sit on a mirror that’s on a high wall…
Oops, forgot to press [reply to this comment]. Cute those invisible 5 copper bars in the middle below the seat.
Well noticed Linky. That sculpture has been in a couple of exhibitions and some people didn’t see that …. I partly put that in [or not put them in I suppose] as a test ….. *rummages around for a gold star*
Diamond star also can…. What material is the chair actually, or how did it get the color it has got?
I covered a chair in lead sheeting ….. it took AGES. I’ve got an even bigger chair with a lead cushion as well …… it takes two people to lift it …..
Smart to make chairs that can’t be lifted, especially when they need to stand on exhibitions. Never seen anything in lead sheeting before, always good to end up on your blog to learn new things
Patchworked [using paper patterns first] and then fixed with copper nails ….. the hammering that follows is VERY therapeutic ……
Who sells lead sheets then? Seems not to many nails compared to those sofa’s with nails around the sides?
There are 100’s of nails [very small] and I steal the lead from church roofs …….. obviously …
Obviously somebody has to shed a light on what’s happening inside churches that isn’t allowed to see daylight, so you are doing a good deed indeed.
If you use soooo many nails, can’t you just cover the chair with nails and save on weight?
*thinks* …… I think it would be heavier ….. *rethinks* ……. yes, I’m sure it would be ….
Only a true experiment will tell for sure, and saves on thinking and rethinking***
That’s an awful lot of hammering to be proved wrong …..
Then it will be hammered in your brain forever
You just need a ladder and some well positioned magnets on the mirror and on those smarty pants of yours.
I tried, but none of my magnets stick on the mirror
I reckon that the mirror has to be on a tall fridge and that the magnet should be stuck on your nose ….. oooo, who was that James Bond villain with a metal nose? …… he’d have to used a magnetised mirror probably …….
Seems you guys are used to metal and magnets much more than I do
‘couple of exhibitions’
Cool. Are you famous then? Is this the reason behind your relentless pursuit of anonymity – cardboard box, false beard, big hat etc. ?
Can I have your autograph?
No ….. and ……. no ……. and yes …… just gotta learn how to write first …. unless an ‘x’ will do …….
Can I simply have your auto?
No
Can I have a nail in stead?
OK
A nail that looks and feels like a diamond?
Shiny and hard? …… no probs ……
Hmmm, why is this going way too easy?
*polishing now*
Send out the postman!
You work frequently with lead? This explains a lot DP… a lot.
Nevertheless, while your sculpture is quite fetching, I’m not all that impressed with what you’ve done to my office chair. While obviously I am slender enough to still use the chair, and yes… I admit I’ve been known to lie on a bed of nails in the past, that teasel is rather inconvenient as a backrest! It just doesn’t work on the same principle as the bed of nails. No wonder I’m most often found at the water cooler. If you’d provide a more comfy office chair, I might be inclined to do more work.
Eye can asure u that the lead as knot effected mi bran …… *thud*
Wot’s for t …..
Ooo …. mi nuckles r draging on the ground …. *rasp*

Just sayin’!!!!
Bloomin’ nice blooms there DP
Luckily? my teeth started falling out before I used lead otherwise I’d be worried ……. I blame Polos …. and sherbet lemons ……… and toffees …….
