Interactive installation examining the relationship between natural & processed wooden objects. Created for my "Recognition, Construction, and the Found" course (Fall 2008) in collaboration with classmates Nikki Dankman & Sienna Baldi. Put my woodshop skillz to good use – all work done with hand saws on site.
Note: This was not in any way photoshopped. The installation was actually constructed (or really deconstructed and then reconstructed) and adhered to the tree on the WashU campus for a (brief) period in 2008. It was then disassembled by university bureaucracy and a severely lacking sense of humor.

Raw material #1: Each group of three was given a wooden chair that must be used in any kind of art piece. From there, pretty much any concept or media was fair game (nudity discouraged but allowed).
Raw material #2: Ridiculously awesome tree on the path between WashU's main campus and the Sam Fox School for Design & Visual Arts. Ideal spring picnic spot.
Work in progress – figuring out the positioning and the angles to line up the pieces so that the tree and the chair appear to be occupying the same space.
