艺术家大卫·查特(David Chatt)用发现的物品和微小的白色珠子创作了一幅全白色的作品，探索他的过去、家庭和记忆。早期的作品更纯粹是装饰性的，比如他的彩色早餐套装(2004年)，而在过去的几年里，查特简化了他的调色板，探索了他生命中情感的深度，投入了更多情感的工作。

在过去几年创作的作品中，查特特别借鉴了他的个人和家庭历史，选择了一些有意义的物品，比如20世纪80年代初的一个立体声录音机、他已故父母的床头柜里的东西，以及他母亲用来制作无数顿饭的工具。艺术家用玻璃珠子和线小心翼翼地覆盖着每一件物品，他把这种覆盖的行为描述为一种封闭和保护自己记忆的方式。

Artist David Chatt explores his past, family, and memories in all-white works created using found objects and minuscule white beads. Whereas earlier work was more purely decorative, like his colorful Breakfast Set (2004), over the last several years Chatt has simplified his color palette and plumbed the emotional depths of his life for more emotionally-engaged work.

In pieces created over the past several years, Chatt has drawn specifically from his personal and family history, selecting meaningful objects like a boombox from the early 1980s, the contents of his late parents’ nightstand, and the tools his mother used to create innumerable meals. Using glass beads and thread, the artist carefully covers each object, and he describes the act of covering as a means of both sealing off and protecting his memories. He shares with Colossal, “This process has the power to transform an object that, might as easily be relegated to land fill, into something precious and a record of a time, place or experience, something that encourages my audience to reflect on their own experiences and complete the story that I have begun.”

Chatt studied design at Western Washington University, Bellingham, in the late 1980s, where he recalls that a 6-foot-five male pursuing beadwork was not warmly embraced. Over the years, he has continued to refine his beadwork through post-secondary study. You can see work from Chatt in a group exhibition at Denmark’s Glasmuseet Ebeltoft in 2019, and in “A New State of Matter: Contemporary Glass” at Boise Art Museum in Idaho from November 3, 2018 to February 3, 2019, a group show which includes work from Steffan Dam (previously) and Amber Cowan (previously).
