In Kendal Buster’s work you see a lot of repetition. Her
work is very intriguing in that aspect because of the diversity in her repetition
and the space she uses with it. She also uses very minimal materials to construct
her work. She often finds a way to make the familiar strange. I also find it
interesting how her work changes looks with different places of viewing. Kendal
Buster’s work applies to my current project most directly in the fact that you
can see the internal structure that is used to support her work.

Martin Puryear
After viewing Martin Puryear’s website and looking through
the photos I noticed how clean cut every project he did was. The craft he has
in all his work is precise. All of the work on the website is visually
balancing and on a large scale. His work is pure simplicity and beauty. Martin
Puryear’s work relates to my current project because you can see how he
structures his pieces well and in some cases he has illusions of furniture.
Description of Exercise 2 Chair Project
You are to write an essay on duality of a person you know in
which you can creatively relate in some aspect to the final chair project. The final
project of a final chair is to be constructed with cardboard; you can shape it,
form it, and cut it however you wish. The only limitation is that you may not
glue or tape.
