Emily No Good

when i first dreamt up chair man, the vision was a real, functioning absurdist chair.

i made a 10-inch-tall metallic clay version for the everyman group show, and when weston saw it, i didn’t even have to ask for his help. in fact, i hadn’t even told him i wanted to make it life-sized. he just saw the vision too and wanted to bring it to life as much as i did.

in return, i got to bring one of his ideas to life.

he had been dreaming up a bobcat tattoo with american traditional elements and a deep, muted color palette. after quite a few rounds of edits, i love where we landed. it feels like a beautiful exploration, a melding of styles. still very me, but also something new.

i’ll be thinking about this one for years to come. thanks for the help and the trust, weston!!
