| The artist, Josh Hebbert, looking artsy and contemplative. |
Inspired by Prof. Martin's Early American Decorative Arts class and the field trip to the Milwaukee Art Museum, artist Joshua Hebbert created a wooden bench reminiscent of the Belter sofa in the Chipstone Foundation's collection. "I used a pallet for the basic structure, and then added decorative elements out of OSB to give it a backrest and armrests," he says. Nice work!
Here was the work day that led to the sofa:
Here was the work day that led to the sofa:
1. made coffee
2. paced around and feel listless
3. made a to do list
4. got necessary items crossed off to do list
5. decided that I should sit down and collage
6. realized that I didn't have room on my table to collage
7. started cleaning off the table, only to find that I didn't have any space to put my stuff
8. made a bench
9. made it Victorian
Great work Josh. It's always interesting to see another artist's interpretation of a previous work. I am currently studying a Chippendale style chair that is possibly a reproduction of its 18th century predecessor. Check it out at yummyfurnitureanddesign.blogger.com
