Bar Stools

These last few weeks I finally finished milling the pieces for my stools and buying the materials for my upcoming desk project. I ran into many complications I wasn't expecting in creating the pieces for the stools. I have never built any kind of chair before. I understood the engineering behind spools and supports, but didn't have a tangible representation of that until now. I also cut the legs at custom angles similar to the bar table, and left the rough edge. It took me a while to get the supports just right. At first I wanted them to be octagons, but it just didn't feel right with the design of the chair. After a lot of fiddling and testing, I decided on rough circles.

    I graduated from Oberlin College in Oberlin, OH college with a major in Africana Studies and Visual Arts concentrating in Liberatory Education.

    I attended High School at Buxton School in Williamstown, MA.

    I grew up in Somerville, MA, and a few years with my family in Salvador, Bahia, Brasil at different points of my childhood.

    All of these places have raised me and contributed to my art. My forms and mediums of expression were inspired by being stuck in between Brasil and the US, formed by Buxton, and molded into a practice at Oberlin.
