Artist: Nancy Kibens
Nancy Kibens' love for pottery began in the shops of Japan, stirring her to take courses at Eastern Michigan University and ultimately join the Ann Arbor Potter's Guild. Now a resident of St. Louis, Nancy has exhibited in galleries and shows in Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Massachusetts, and Maryland. In addition to ceramics, Nancy is a papermaker, flower arranger, and masseuse, all of which she does with a Japanese flavor.

This is from the series: The Chair: Seat of the Soul

Bishop's Seat, Judicial Bench, Throne, Congressional Seat, Director's Chair, Driver's Seat, Academic Chair -- the chair represents authority. The seated position implies stability, the unmoved center around which the remainder of the universe orbits. The chair is the seat of the soul, the home of intelligence, reason, wisdom, and artistry. It is where the body can rest, allowing the mind to contemplate more elevated concerns: love, truth, and creativity.

During the time of Louis XIV at Versailles, the chair symbolized rank: only the Sun King sat in armchairs, lower royalty in armless chairs, lesser nobles on backless stools, and others on unpadded folding stools. Today, the chair implies a more democratic society; each is entitled to the comfort previously reserved for royalty. Yet, we each have "our" chair, a retreat that enables the body to rest, the mind to contemplate, and the soul to rejuvenate.

This piece is a tribute to Mom; the hats represent the various jobs that Mom does--maid, gardener, chef, nurse, and chauffeur--and she wears a track suit with tennis shoe on one foot and dress with high heel on the other to be ready for anything. Of course she has also earned her crown.
