‘Whittle Chair’ by Karen Ryan

Whittle is about less. All it requires is a penknife and an unwanted chair.

One afternoon I took the unwanted chair out of my kitchen and began whittling it whilst watching an old black and white Bette Davis movie.

The whittle chairs naivety is intentional as the process is left to be intuitive and unplanned.

The original chair is made naked revealing a different physical and emotional state, one of fragility and imperfections.

This is first in a series of whittle pieces.
