This series of photos started by accident in 2012 but has since evolved into a study of the furnishing of Vancouver-area workplace “break pits”. More specifically, ones where the focus is on chairs.
When I heard the Museum of Vancouver was planning an exhibit of chairs from their collection, ones that told the stories of the city’s evolution, I knew there was a “fit” for this series. Curator Denise Fong agreed and was kind enough to include eight of the images in the exhibit which is now on and runs through February of 2026. In producing this video I hope to give a brief introduction to the work. Who knows where it will go from here!
