Item Information

Title:
Therese Murray
Description:
Artist Brian Holbrook built the chair with no back; anyone sitting in it has to hold themselves up straight. It is also taller than a normal chair so a person has to climb up into it to sit down. A nod to the idea that Senator Murray had to earn her leadership role by climbing the ladder of success.
