SECRET BOX

CLASS ASSIGNMENT:
FIND SOMETHING USED,
OLD, ABANDONED, OR
OBSOLETE, AND FIND A NEW
PURPOSE FOR IT.

SOLUTION:
SECRET BOX

SITUATED IN THE SHEILA C.
JOHNSON DESIGN CENTER OF
PARSONS SCHOOL OF DESIGN,
I PLACED AN UNASSUMING BOX
THAT,UPON CLOSER INSPECTION,
WOULD ASK FOR STRANGERS TO
ANONYMOUSLY SUBMIT THEIR
SECRETS.
ONCE COLLECTED,
I TRANSFERED THESE SECRETS
ONTO CARE-CONTENT LABELS
WHICH COULD THEN BE SEWN
ONTO THE LABEL OF A
STRANGER’S GARMENTS.

FIG 2. EXPLAINED:

TO ATTRACT SECRET
SUBMISSIONS I WANTED A BOX
THAT LOOKED INCONSPICUOUS, BUT
ALSO REVERENT AND HOLY IN
ITS DESIGN LANGUAGE. THUS
I MADE THE DECISION TO
LEAVE THE WOOD UNSTAINED
AND OUTWARDLY, UNADORNED.
IN ORDER TO EMPHASIZE THE
RITUALISTIC ASPECT OF
SECRET SPILLING,
I MADE SURE THAT THE FORM
OF THE BOX, LOOKED AND FELT
SIMILAR TO THE EXPERIENCE
ONE WOULD FEEL WHILE
USING A PRIE-DEUX,
A COMMON PRAYER
KNEELER.

MATERIAL: BIRCH PLYWOOD
DIMENSIONS:4x4 FT
