It’s cool how such different pieces are so clearly related. The 1st one is from 2007, the 2nd one from 2019 and the Vogue cover from 1987! The message is the same.
In all of these objects I used ‘cable ties’ with the purpose of structural support and/or connection.
You can sit on it and it will not break thanks to the solid structural curved plywood backbone. PURE.
This photo was taken in my apartment in NYC 1987 by my friend and great photographer Linda Covello. Dirk Marwig shows his “brand T-shirt” with an unknown “Elite”(agency) model. I’m just posting this for the sake of provenance and showing that I never throw anything useful away, in this case the logo which I altered a little 10 years later for my “Seymour Glasses”
