An Adobe Illustrator file (2022.14.1) and PDF (2022.14.2) of design elevations for a series entitled Uneasy Lies the Head that Wears the Crown, by Germane Barnes. The design drawing depicts six blue and gray chair designs arranged in two rows of three. Each chair design features a chairback designed to look like an Afro pick with seven, elongated teeth that extend downwards, terminating just above the floor. The combs and teeth are illustrated in textured gray that resembles wood grain and the teeth are also shaded blue to show perspective. The shaft of the combs differ in size and shape. Each design also features blue outlined, white, slatted chair seats as well as white arms, legs, and aprons.
