just a few chairs references a series of objects (chairs) from the Hawkesbury Regional Museums collection. Each chair has been scaled up or down, dolls house chairs sit side by side with normal chairs, the scaling draws attention to the detail of each object. The surface of each chair is embellished with embroidery that references a lace doyley also from the collection. The work was displayed along side the collection objects at Hawkesbury Regional Museum.
