I think something that is easy to forget, when you begin to make art for a career, is that sometimes it is good to just iterate.
One of my electives for the Furniture Design Certificate Program is an Immersive Design class. It is so fun to be in an environment where we talk about, well, environments!
Each class we will have a few hours to put together a fun little experience for the class. Last week we did one centered around TOUCH.
We made a box with four holes. Inside the box is a mess of textures, centered around a damp sponge full of beads. The objective was the find The Key hidden inside.
It was strange and playful and gross and silly. Encountering each others hands in the blind box was surprising and weird!
It felt to me like we had created a head and were rooting around inside someones brain, looking for the key to new memories.
