Doug Haslam

This piece contains two half chairs which, magically, appear as two whole chairs in this wooden box of mirrors with a secret message. Every time you look at it, there are mysterious variations and continual entertainment. Doug Haslam made this piece for the traveling exhibition, "Little Chair Show," organized by Canadian sculptor Michael Hosaluk. Haslam received one of 40 chairs sent out to artists, then used traditional and contemporary woodworking techniques to re-purpose the single chair and create the box surround.
