An empty chair offers a direct stimulus for the tired part of our personality. Sitting in an empty chair allows us to create an inner dialogue to put our emotions in order, clear the mind, catch our breath and get back on track.
Stripped of basic functionality as seat, Cristina Savage´s chairs talk about the permanence of time, the punishment as self-protection, contempt and deceit.
Taking four women from different mythologies, who assumed the wait as tasks of wife, mother and lovers, condemning themselves to never know each other, as a reference.
In this her first individual show at La Casa Amarilla, Savage offers a series assembled from found objects - orphaned chairs – that the artist rescued from the grasps of the dump and adopted to transform into unique sculptural environments, re-baptized in iconic characters.
