Nautical Lounge
Project Description
The second major piece of my BFA thesis was made as a direct continuation of the processes and results of the first. While “Bent Ash Bench” was, in part, making a shelter from found materials, here “Floating Lounge” is intended to communicate a more deliberate, utilitarian though fanciful, design sense making reference to man powered tools and to demonstrate a more sophisticated use of materials.
In this work I wanted to create an object obviously crafted with specific intention but yet leave that intention somewhat mysterious. I tried to build into it the suggestion of many kinds of both functional and natural objects. This allows a viewer to see in it what they bring to it and to broaden its appeal. There are design elements of a leaf, a boat, a wheel barrow, a seed pod and more. These specific objects were chosen because I could combine them artfully and because they are all different kinds of conveyances.
