Item Description

When you ask a group of naturalists to design a chair around 'There's No Place like Home" you get a chair full of plant and animal homes of course! Humans are not unique in our need for a good home–it's a need we share with all living species. Together we can work to provide quality, affordable housing for our human and other animal friends. This chair is just a sampling of the various homes that you might find around mid-Michigan, from a naturalist's perspective that is!

Item Special Note

About the Artist:

The animal homes idea was implemented by Karen Breternitz, amateur artist and Naturalist at Chippewa Nature Center. Karen gets the most excited about the fungal world, so mushrooms outnumber the other components of the chair.

Art Piece Specs:

This Adirondack chair is finely crafted from cedar and weighs less than 20 lbs.  The chair sits at 34.5" x 28.35" x 35.5".

All items must be picked up either at the live auction on April 17th or at Midland Area Homes within 1 week of the close of the auction.
