(i) incised 'P368' on rear left leg (ii) incised 'P369' on rear left leg

2009

Two interconnected seating forms are wrapped in a tactile, woven synthetic textile stretched over an industrial steel tubular framework, blurring the boundary between sculpture and functional furniture. West's characteristically irreverent approach to art and utility is evident in the work's unpretentious materiality, inviting physical interaction and bodily engagement from the viewer. The incised identifiers "P368" and "P369" on the rear legs subtly assert the dual nature of the pieces as both catalogued art objects and usable everyday forms.
