A digital print greyscale drawing consisting of an amorophous shape which has the appearance of a long-backed chair with a low rectangular front. The shape is made up of repeating swooping curved lines which give it a sense of dynamism and a mesh-like appearance. The rectangular front piece is long and almost black at the front with many lines, the back of the chair-like shape appears to be made of grids of lines.

Here we have a monochrome rose gold metal chair made of intricate and repeating elements. It has four legs supporting the seat and back with numerous branch-like supports that resemble trees. The supports vary in thickness and number from each leg, resulting in supports being attached to various areas of the seat bottom. The seat and back are one long curved piece made of small, repeating ringlets.

This monochrome black chair is made of repeated, geometric cut outs and abstract 3-D shapes. The shapes are ovular with a curved star in the middle, with the star varying in thickness and gradation in the middle. The geometric shapes and material are tightly molded together in various overlapping sequences, making the repeated elements form one continuous chair shape. The chair sits on the floor as one unit without legs.

Digitally rendered graphic print. From left to right, a medium sized hexagon shaped pixeled shape going through changes, becoming more abstract, as the resolution improves. The color of the hexagons are a light gray color while there is a stud looking object in the center of eah shape. On the left of the pattern the hexagon appears to be realistic. The pattern gradually changes towards the center to a more abstract looking hexagon design. The right side of the pattern returns to a more realistic looking hexagon shape with the stud object in the center. Inbetween the pattern is a white negative space.
