Ornate woven rattan armchair with curled legs, high back, and rust-colored cushions

Cephalopod

Cephalopod, Edition of 7 + 1 AP

Weave on weave, six limbs and a face, each built up from its own run of cane rather than one continuous weave. The seam that elsewhere marks the meeting of two selves shows up here between limb and limb, limb and face — the same structural claim, worn as anatomy rather than expression.

Rattan, Steel Armature, H 111 × W 93 × D 97 cm (H 43.7 × W 36.6 × D 38.2 in)
