mantsa, the series in transit. the podi chairs.



"...rebelliously sullen".








Mantsa I. Mantsa II. 2005.
Mixed media on canvass. Oil. Jusi cut out with embroidery.
Abaca Strings. Wooden clothespins. Old photographs, music sheets.




The side chairs used to be beat- up narra, which the family had for years. I painted them to have an updated look, contrast with the mahogany interiors. I did plan on a distressed finish, sand them lightly as the paint settles, let out the red corners. The flat white satin appealed to me anyhow so it stays for now. I guess i ought to sand them soon as they have their share of grime.




"...and no, this entry is not couple-themed, neither coinciding for this proverbial love-month. I just happen to chronically make, or buy, two of everything".



But then Hugs, and more hugs...

Raph
