Wildetecture 2011 mantis chair photoshoot.

 




Someone mentioned this roughed out 2011 photo shoot back yard setting detracted from the wild mantis chair. Made it look cheap. Yes the photo shoot is in my back garden with the cheapo vibracrete wall behind. They reckon It all detracted from the chairs crazy design. Well yes it has, but this is a chair that doesnt need a setting to be offset from. Im not trying to implore the wealthy and the artistically insipid using million dollar vibe settings. This chair is wild and untamed and doesnt need a setting to offset it. My roughed out suburban back garden was great, chair offsets itself. Go buy your chairs from your uncle in the furniture business if the wild grass is offensive. I dont need sales to design and implement my furniture design ideas. Im a self funded wild ideas flushing money down the loo affionardo. (Yip.i know its not a word, bite me) How else am i going to forefill my starving artist approach to life if i actually make money selling my art work? Anyway this is a wild chair, what you expect?  A tame lounge setting next to the furniture from a wharehouse chain? I think not. Stalking the aloes in suburbia is exactly the back yard vibe im going for. Go design and market your own chair. Let me crash and burn in pieces, um peace. 
Some have said i need to make the Mantis chair more comfortable. If you have ever been camping in the bush in a tent, with a pride of lions hunting outside. You will know wild is not comfortable. If your looking for comfortable go to a furniture warehouse chain and buy from a caged zoo. You possible prefer looking at wild animals in tame settings. 

Below, i did a shoot in 2012 and went to get professional photographic shots done in a proper studio. Next i will get some shots in the deep bush.
