See 2008 > October > Kyoto/Osaka The Couch for photos of us starting this project and making the textile.I'm really glad this is finally finished!! It's our first collaborative project and my first upholstery project after working with Sarah Hanneman. It was very difficult for Song gi and I to collaborate or I guess I should say- it was difficult for me to collaborate with anyone because I always want to do things my way even if I'm totally wrong. I learned this about myself from this process. I didn't listen to his opinion a couple times and did it my way and messed it up, then he came in and did it his way and fixed it. So from now on I will listen and trust his judgment.
The couch plus the small canvas is on display now with the rest of the Kyoto Seika seniors. In March we will be exhibiting in a smaller group show in Kyoto at a shopping mall!haha I'm curious to see what that will look like...
The textile illustrates many constellations and the couch encapsilates your whole body like you're a child sitting in a big armchair. From the chair, you can view a small canvas representing the same pattern but printed digitally. That's all I'm gonna say about it, I hate explaining my concepts and this one was pretty experimental.
