Ikea Turmoil Self-Portrait 2007
Ikea Manuals and Acrylic on Canvas
Inspiration:
When I moved to Amsterdam my original intention was to find a furnished apartment. I happened to find the most amazing place but it was unfurnished. I needed furniture fast. I was standing for my first week and hard wood floors are uncomfortable. So, there's always IKEA. Cheap, Easy, and they deliver. The only drawback: Assembly Required. So after 8 hours in the warehouse and 3 giant carts full of mass produced plastic DIY furniture I got my delivery arranged. Once it was delivered I had myself a little 48 hour IKEA furniture building marathon. I think I built well over 30 pieces with nothing but a trusty little Allen Wrench...and a 99 cent screwdriver. I was sore and blistered for a week but I did have a place to sit down.
