Chair reconstruction

Starting with the chair i bought ever so long ago, I first took it apart and then put it back together in a different configuration.

ORIGINAL



Which resulted in the following object. I kind of liked it as it was. But is had to be painted using the color pallette of a famous painting.

PREPAINT



All I could think was to paint it blue/green. With luck I was able to find a painting by Salvador Dali called "Giraffe on Fire" that seemed to fit my need. I also think it is funny that during the reconstruction phase, the chair looked like a giraffe for a while until it broke and became unfixable.

"Giraffe on Fire"



That resulted in the following. I took the easy way out by spray painting it, so the colors are not exactly what they should be. I am not happy with it but I am not going to but anymore time into it's paint job.

PAINTED



After some thought, I have had the growing urge to burn it. Light that fucker up and see what happens. I'll have to takes pictures of it if I do. I think it would be cool. Come to think about it that goes with that giraffe on fire theme once again.

wow. sure is...different. I love the color scheme.

That would be kind of cool if you set it on fire. You could play the sound of a girraffe giving birth in the background, and film the whole thing, and call it "Meditation on a Burning Girraffe, with Chair."

no one would get you then.
