Image Statement: "Wingback" was created by reconfiguring parts of an old chair to form a pair of "wings". Theoretically, this object could be worn; but I am more intrigued by the idea that everyday objects contain souls, and my sacriligious way of finding them is to tear things apart to see what's inside.
