The chair in art. Stand in for absent people. A more meaningful object to represent human presence, past or present would be hard to find.
In an abandoned house the chair left behind longing for a user, waiting silently through the ages to be sat upon again.
The chair, designed to support the human body. The chairs pulled around the diner table. The extra chairs brought in a few times a year for Thanksgiving or Christmas feasts. The chair used as a step stool to reach the cookie jar. The inherited antique chair looking for a place within a modern apartment decor. Too precious to discard. Dad’s favorite chair. Memories of hair cuts in the chair pulled into the kitchen.
The folding lawn chair packed in the car for picnics, outdoor concerts, and lazy summer days by the pond. The old white chair, a prop for simple daisy flowers. The chair left in the middle of nowhere.
