Shaker Furniture Reinterpreted
Christopher Specce – Handy Ice-Scraper
“I’m drawn to the devotional craft the Shakers
invested in the things they made and their ritualization of the tasks of daily
life. I’ve tried to create a similar, albeit somewhat absurd elevation of the
mundane, juxtaposing those spiritual aspirations with the kind of souvenir
interpretation that exists in a gift-shop’s-view of this rich and idiosyncratic
culture.”

are created using the rudimentary weaving technique of potholders on a
large-scale loom with knit (T-shirt) fabric yardage. The rugs’ bulky,
comfortable quality is fitting for a variety of spaces and doubles as seating.
