Chairs for installation

These are the four chairs I got for my installation. Round table on its way.

This will be the excessive exercise stage. I'm going to have a pair of running shoes at this chair (will be able to see under table). Text will be transferred onto the cushion about excessive exercise.

This is the 'calorie counting & obsession' stage. I will have quotes about food and calorie intake transferred onto the cushion. I'd like to include men's work shoes for this chair to say that not all those who suffer anorexia are teenage girls, or the stereotype.

'Struggle with appearance' stage. A large shirt will be draped on the back to represent baggy clothes worn by those with warped body images and trying to hide their actual size. I'm going to have small women's shoes next to this chair. Quotes will be about body image, denial and the continuation of losing weight.

'Downward spiral' stage. I'm considering swapping this one with the last since they are both equally smaller, and the last one is more aged to represent a deterioration at this stage. I will include quotes about end weight.


This is an example of text to transfer to the chair cushion:
And another one for a small quote without as much typography for an element:
 *****


I'm considering a recovery chair, not sure how I feel about it and it would be on its own away from the table with the other chairs. Thoughts? I probably won't do it for fear of a cluttered space.
