Glue and Cloth: Chair Construction

Using cling film we covered a chair wrapping it so that it made an interesting structure consisting of twists and panels

Then using two pairs of tights we covered the chair; wrapping, twisting, stretching, laddering and cutting to create an interesting structure. We then coated them in PVA mixed with water in order to hold the shape

When it came to covering the chair with tights we tried to consider it as a frame or structure that we were using rather than 'we're covering a chair in tights'. I think this helped us to be more creative and experimental with the process

During this process we didn't look at anyone else's work, instead just focusing on what we were doing, letting our creativity flow and not over-thinking any of it, taking it one step at a time and providing solutions to any problems we had with construction.
