It is a multifunctional yet simple object - impartial, with no hidden agendas and more than the sum of its atoms. Perhaps a recycled card tube is to hold rolls of paper. Or, an acoustic mirror; focusing sound frequencies that travel through the air (medium). Maybe it is a megaphone or a telescope – an object that illustrates the physical attributes of the world we occupy. You see, if you leave a tube with a child and their imagination, you discover; simplicity has many functions. Remember the cardboard box you played with as a child? Such should be intent of your self expression, your contribution, your work; elegant and simple because it makes clear, observable sense. It is fun!!! Adults make reinforced structural components out of paper tubes; shigeru ban architects
Intent & context: In 2015 a child was born; imagine a dialogue with this little spec of star dust. The intent is to reveal our thoughts and experiences as we venture through time (life), as well as explore the wisdom it has to offer with regards to art + science + space + architecture + engineering + technology. It is apparent that not all things can yet be grasped, thus begins the composition of our journey which we wish to share, not only with our child but also with you.
