This chair amazed me today in class. I would like to see how he connected each piece of cardboard and how he thought of the idea. I even want to know how many of them he has sold and for how much. This is just a fun thing I thought I would share from class.

Martin Pureyear Website:

I liked how this website gave us background information about who Martin was and what he specialized in. However, I wish there was a bit more information on the website about his work he is showing us. You can tell that he studied Asian, African, European, and American cultures to create his designs. Each object shows parts of the culture of each country. He uses very unique shapes and uses the basket weave style a lot in his work. It is very interesting, but I want to know why he chose to do so many circles. What was his motive behind it? Not being able to see Pureyear's creations in person does alter what I could think of his work. I find it hard to put the objects into context and figure out what the object is especially when I cannot see it in person. His work is very whimsical to me because of the curves and swirls of some of his pieces. His pieces are created with various materials and consisted of a lot of pieces. This makes his work inspiring, to see how you can manipulate objects that way and turn them into something so amazing. His work is also very minimalistic. He uses pieces but only the bare minimum and by doing that he shows the object and what it is constructed of.

Kendal Buster Website:

What I like about Kendal's website is that it shows all sides of her work and gives the viewer a chance to really understand her work from different view points as if we were actually there. Her work was very intriguing and it kept me in awe. I liked how she described the project and gave the audience an overview of what she did. Her models were also life-size and took what is normal and manipulated it into the unthinkable, such as her Model City design with the camping tents. Her designs are also whimsical with the spherical shapes and curves. It even gave me a few ideas on ways I can construct my seat/chair. I also really liked how she designed things for the inside and the outside environment. Her work is very impressive and I am drawn to it. Even the colors of her pieces are inviting.
