Helana's Crossing

These two chairs tell a story of the recent adoption of a Chinese baby girl. The chair forms relate to the telling of the story. I use the chair form to refer to the act of sharing a story or memory. We often sit near each other to relate an important occurrence or memory and I want to acknowledge the action of its telling. The chair forms also relate formally to the human body (arms, legs, back, seat) making the telling of the story a more personal and intimate form of human activity.
