Midterm Presentation Reflections

I believe that I could not get my concept across enough to be easily understandable. There was a feeling of incompleteness that set in; as if I was uncoordinated, sporadic and unresolved. My desire at this moment is to resolve this unsatisfied cage I have locked myself in. A strong desire for clear reconciliation for myself, and others, to understand my journey.

A few critiques I was given were that my ideas are not unique, many others before me have attempted to merge philosophy and their craft. Perhaps I did not explain myself enough, or mention the most important information about my topic, there is a lot cover in just ten minutes.

My model forms need work, they're disconnected from each other and need to be resolved. It still feels like I am in the early stages of development, when I should really start building within the next few weeks. Still I am not sure of where to go with these designs.

From where I am now it is difficult to alter the forms of models I have now. To escape from the forms and silhouettes I am used to is hard. I want to break new ground and test some new forms in some way but breaking new ground is always difficult. I will continue to break these forms down and take the best characteristics I can to make a complete collection.

The only thing I can do now is push my designs as far as I possibly can. To play with the unique characteristics that they now inhabit, and perhaps I will be able to resolve the Windsor, joinery and form I've been searching for.
