FURNITURE DESIGN
2. AS A LEARNING EXPERIMENT I BEGAN DESIGNING A FURNITURE SERIES DURING MY
UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES. I WAS ASSISTED IN CONSTRUCTION BY MY CONTEMPORARY
CAMDEN NORRIS & AIDED IN DESIGN BY FELLOW STUDENT MADISON LEIN FOR THE
MODULAR SHELF PIECE
3. THE RULES ARE: PLYWOOD, PLANAR CONSTRUCTION, ADHESIVE ONLY, NO FASTENERS
4. THE SERIES IS NEARING COMPLETION WITH ASPIRATIONS TO EXHIBIT IN GRADUATE

28. THE MESSAGE
1. THE MESSAGE IS AN ONGOING PROJECT SOUROUNDING THE THE OBSERVATION OF THE
MIDWESTERN SKY
2. THE ANALYZATION PHASE IS COMPLETE AND 365 PICTURES OF THE SKY WERE TAKEN
DOCUMENTING TIME, AZIMUTH, AND ORIENTATION. (1 FOR EACH DAY OF THE YEAR)
3. THE GOAL IS TO USE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS AS A GUIDE TO CONSTRUCT A SPACE
WHERE THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL CONTENT OF THE EVER CHANGING SKY OF THE AREA
IS ACCURATELY CONVEYED
4. I HOPE TO FINISH THIS PROJECT IN GRADUATE SCHOOL AS THE DESIGN PHASE WILL SOON
BE UNDER WAY
The burgeoning age of cumulative technology
and self-assured anthropology was no
longer interested in transcendences or
celestial globes. With the astronomic, visual and
philosophical destruction of the sky, its
representations too were condemned to
pointlessness. Henceforth, the word sky would no
longer refer to anything more than an
optical effect that appear in the medium of a
planet’s atmosphere when the cosmos is
perceived through human eyes. This sky proved
metaphysically empty and anthropologically
indifferent. Suddenly humans were the creatures
that had no business up there, but much to lose—
namely themselves. Consequently, the sky at best
constituted an aeronautical task, not a meta-
physical or globographic one……………Thus the
riches of humans should no longer be wasted on
imagined heights
