Material Series

Jennifer Anderson

Creating objects that have the ability to transcend their utilitarian purpose and affect users on a more personal level is one of the main motivations behind Jennifer Anderson's work, Material Series.

As one of Anderson's more experimental projects, the Series is comprised of five identical chairs made from five different materials: wood, mud, grass, wax, and bronze.

By taking a basic chair form and replicating it in various non-traditional and unexpected materials, the Series attempts to explore how materiality can affect the perceived purpose of an object encouraging viewers to reinterpret its role as a purely functional object.
