'Harmonious Opportunities', from the 'Angel Chairs' series, presents the wings of the wingback chair quite literally, and the anthropomorphic piece both metaphorically and physically becomes a dark angel. Carved from wood, this headless seraph with two feet on the ground has outstretched wings which harken, offering to enwrap and protect, but its somewhat somber and foreboding pose is also one of proclamation, a reminder that angels are messengers from other realms whose communications might have dramatic consequences.
