A Roy McMakin chair is never JUST a chair, August 9, 2011
This review is from: Roy McMakin: When is a chair not a chair? (Hardcover)
Roy McMakin is artist whose medium is furniture, architecture, interiors, and photography. He riffs on common objects and forms like a poet playing with words. At first glance a chair or dresser might appear commonplace, but then you notice something unexpected - the chair legs are slightly off kilter, or the dresser seems to be missing a knob. The longer you look, the more you discover.
Crisp color photographs, and several of McMakin's sketches, display the wide variety of his work, including furniture, architecture, interiors, photographs, and other objects. The essays included in this book are well written and illuminating, helping the reader to glean even more meaning from the photographs.
Highly recommended for all art and design libraries, as well as anyone interested in art, design, and thinking about ordinary objects in new ways.
