Hair Dressers Chairs

Some older work. Basically, we (Platform 2, RCA) were lent a hairdressers as an external place to work, away from the college. When it was time for a show back at the RCA we moved all the furniture from the hairdressers to the gallery. Only we didn't have enough seating for everyone, so i made these to match the hairdressing furniture (The hairdressers chairs were made of metal and leather etc. mine are wood and screws and paint).

Oh No

Slapstick, booby trapped porcelain pieces.

A Project for Sevres (French Porcelain Manufacturer). Some words by Roland Lamb;

"With influences as diverse as Jackie Chan and the immortal conflict between Road Runner and Wyle E. Coyote, Thomas's photographic documentary shows how easy it is to decontextualize the perfection of a Sevres vase. Perfection, then, lies not in the object but the rituals and performances of value that take place around the object. Depending on one's subjective relation to Sevres production, the work evokes danger, humour, or even the sublime."

Self Help Book Impersonations

This is from a series of wooden blocks painted to impersonate books.

Self help books are often bought and never read. The function is to admit your problem and feel like you are doing something about it.
