Cultural Mirror Presentations

Here are some of the other projects:

Ruth designed a screen or room divider inspired by plant forms.

Hye Jung designed small seating pods that could be hung up like a coat when not in use.

Deb tried to build a chair for her fire escape that referenced the clothes people often hang out to dry. Her fire escape fought back and won but it was a great concept.

Eli's work is very much about process and materiality. Although this piece started out as a place to throw his half-dirty/half-clean clothes he is more interested in having the user give it function as they wish.

Philip designed a small adjustable-height stool with a spring pivot at the base. It was an amazing amount of work and he pulled it off.

Chloris built three L-shaped platforms for sitting and working. He is looking at ideas of necessity, purpose, and luxury for his thesis.

Antonio carved these two identical handles out of walnut. This photo really doesn't do them justice.

Pete built a small bookshelf based on the idiom "the elephant in the room" that held marginalized written works.

Liz made this acrylic table that was impossible to photograph. Even in person the lines blurred in and out of focus.
