The notorious green couch: I found this couch within the first week of living in the house. As I was driving to work, I noticed the glint of the sun off of its plush green exterior, and a cardboard sign denoting its value; “free.” This piece of furniture spoke immediacy; it was a “must have.” Currently, it is located in the conversation room. It is positioned immediately below an art piece entitled “martial arts.” Noticing the bland nature of the freshly painted walls, I decided that I would take it upon myself to construct something to correspond with the long nature of this piece of furniture. Approximately a week later, I found found five pvc pipes of various lengths and decided to place them at different angles to one another. In this way, it is evident that the couch influenced the art piece. Correspondingly, the art work determines the position of the couch on this wall. I find that I orient much of my work in spatial relationship to the furniture which adorns each room.
