Comments? Anyone?

Hey, I'd deeply appreciate it if someone commented on my project. I too was kind of spacey Monday, and didn't get much from the review.

As is, I've lightly researched Shakespeare's comedies, and I think As You Like It may work, but I'm still working on it at the moment.

Also, (Marc) I was wondering if extending the corner posts to the floor for support, or maybe having another piece of wood do that (also at the corners only) would be a good idea, or if it would kind of loose the box language. I was thinking of having a couple of wood pieces outline the 'cube' volume that 'boxes' create, and supporting the boxes that way.

Hey Jose, here are some of the comments that the Jurors had:

- What is the point of the larger joke?

-Try to be more descriptive in some of the moments;

-Play with the idea of male/female and how sexual orientation (het) is assigned to the vegetable (cuc) and the fruit (tom).

-Embrace the idea of how women blush while men grow large and powerful and build on those differences.

Hope this was helpful.

the nature of your construction deals with solid and void, there are implied volumes, but the spaces in between allow for leakage...penetration. there is a play of interior / exterior, both of which can be occupied - literally, with the user moving through the space, or implicitly, voids or protrusions for parts of the male/female anatomy as you begin to play with the regularity of the posts.

embrace the cliches as you try to arrive at the larger point of the joke... trying to make a connection with shakespeare might help with clarifying the philosophy
