Monday 11/22

In our last session we struggled with the question of functionality vs. aesthetics.

We haven't really reached a conclusion on that matter.

Our considerations thus far have mostly broken down the structure of the object as opposed to added to it.

Through our discussion we decided that we wanted to orchestrate a collective idea within the same focus. Following the paint palette concept, we felt we could further explore the artist as a potential consumer market.

The form of this boxed water exemplifies the idea of a blank canvas and practically asks for colors to be applied.
