In the early 1990s, the artist took Polaroids of the underside of a table and chairs in his
kitchen and was struck by the expansive and immersive world they conveyed.2 He sought to re-create this experience in the round, and beginning in 1992 his work turned from handmade to industrially fabricated, from
modestly scaled to nearly four times life -
size, and from somewhat abstracted to more directly representational.
