(P)leisure Chair (2022).
This (P)leisure Chair initiates a feminist critique of the reclining chair. It traces historic strategies of feminine oppression by visiting the objectified body, the sexualized body, the discomforted body and the discredited body. It asks: what does it mean to recline rather than lie? To invite a gaze? To explore the sensual feminine?
The design and build of the chair takes formal and organisational inspiration from land and water scapes and assemblage practices.
