Baby prototype of overall form, sitting on prototype of seat. The cardboard structure is about 14" wide and 12" tall, I can stand and jump on it without it giving way.


Overall all the different pieces that went into the structure.


















Taping together all the different parts to make sure everything fits together as it should. I held everything together with painters tape before the horizontal panels were added so it would stand on its own.

Travis drew a banana on the bottom of the lowest panel.
Just to show the scale, that's me beginning to tape it all together. I'm 5'3" on a good day. With shoes on.

Our whole objective for this project was to build a chair out of cardboard without adhesives that represented a relationship in our lives. I chose my best friend, Travis Young. We met just over a year ago and have had one of the strangest relationships I think I've ever encountered. He draws bananas over everything, and I draw rocketships. Then they get left laying around in hiding in other people's lives. Hence my rocketship, and the banana he drew on it. On face value, that sounds completely absurd. But it's probably one of the best representations of us. We're both really stupid and cliche, and swear like sailors. I trust that kid more than I have anyone else. He got me through my transitional phase when I moved out of my house, and he's been there for me for everything else since then. 

That's us. Asia and Croatia. 


He's also a photographer. Hence my fancypants final project photos.
