The inspiration behind this artwork came from working on a project in Eindhoven with refugees. Gudrun stripped the chair back of everything, leaving only the frame and springs...something like when a person as a refugee comes to a new country and has nothing except what he is built from to create a new life. She then started to weave the springs with felted wool thread, then connected the springs together one by one until the seat was whole, the connecting the springs to the frame of the chair using the same thread to make it functional again.
