Inspiration a day to late...

         I was lying in bed the night after the project trying to figure out what I could have done differently for the chair project. And after a while I realized that the whole issue was what the chair was based off of, I needed a different relationship. Then it came to me I should have done my high school mentor Joe Glotzbach, pictured above. Mr. G was my high school's drama teacher and one of my boyscout troop leaders. He passed away several years ago due to cancer but he left behind so many memories. Some of my fondest memories of him are when Tim (the person I did the original essay over) and I had forensics duet practice. We would perform for him and when we were done we would say that we were good for the day, Mr G would then just give us this look that was like you know very that your not done, you can do so much better, you and I both know it. And then would say that we would go practice again and then perform for him again and then he would give us that look again and then we would practice until we had it perfect. 

        I also have many fond memories of Mr. G from boyscouts and it is in no small parts thanks to him that I got my Eagle Scout. He was meticulous in his attention to detail and his faith in people, he was one of the best teachers I ever had even though I never took one of his class's. 

        The chair would have been small as his lifestyle was simple and he was content with his lot in life. I would have perhaps been a stool or a simple seat, where the chair would have stood out would have been in the detail around the base of it. I would have used a knife to cut away the top and middle layers of cardboard to create a series of images that would have represented my memories of him.

        Well that was a lot of rambling but the idea was driving me crazy and I had to get it out. It seems that inspiration came to me just a little to late on this project hopefully it wont happen again.
