Chairs as coat hangers, coins as screwdrivers, everyday we redesign the uses of common objects in order to simplify life. Its called Non Intentional Design, a trait that has helped us humans become who we are. stems from the prehistoric practice of recognizing existing forms, functions, materials, and behaviors found in our environments, and reappropriating their uses to suit our needs for survival, comfort, and happiness.
Today, everyday, we misuse the objects which densely engulf our modern environment, redesigning their functions, giving them new purposes. But how will the future look back on these objects, long after they're outdated and disposed of? Perhaps they will be as early dinosaur fossils, incorrectly reconstructed creating that which never existed.
Using the reappropriation of found objects as media, explores this human desire for unconscious creation, and curiosity. Disrupting the familiar patterns we generally associate with the everyday, this installation seeks to alter the way we perceive our environment and our behaviors within. A daydream in the ordinary, reveals itself as something quite unexpected.
