The artist: "The challenge for those of us who enjoy living in a classical city is to reinterpret its classical motifs in a contemporary way.
One of those motifs is the Chippendale chair, so much admired by Robert Adam. Even Adolf Loos, the famous Czech modernist liked the design so much that he insisted that his clients furnish their otherwise stark dining rooms with them.
By printing the image onto corduroy, I evoke a room bathed in light but also a modern way of seeing the image: as if through venetian blinds, via fax machine or faulty TV monitor."
