Resting Chair is an “exhausted” chair made from a second-hand blue checkered dress that Shujing bought, cotton from an old pillow, leftover bright yellow thread, and an unpowered heated panel found in storage. It is soft and clumsy, and doesn’t function like a regular supportive chair. When hung on the wall, its form resembles a person slumping; when placed on the floor, it resembles a dispirited person leaning against the wall. Shujing’s chair reflects the deep longing for rest that comes when she feels overwhelmed; the chair itself looks tired, as if they are sharing the same feeling. This artwork serves as a vessel for the mental and physical states of pausing, resting, and recharging.
