Some time in 1987, according to people who know, the world's population topped 5 Billion. A map was produced showing how continents and countries weighed in on the total. I took that map as inspiration for Poppy the Chair.
While this chair has been in my possession for a few years, it doesn't go as far back as 1987. However, I just didn't see potential for 2nd Chance work in it. Than I ran out of things to paint and found new eyes for the serviceable chair. I'm so glad that I did because the final product makes me so happy.
Working with maps more and more, I love finding new ways to feature them with my painting. While a bit cheesy, I can't resist the idea of the map and the piece living "mappily ever after".
Yes, Poppy is for sale. Let me know if you're interested: 2ndchance.functionalart@gmail.com
