What do you think the overall message of “Office Nap” is? Do you think that approaching these issues with a sense of humor is a good way to draw attention to them? Please explain and discuss.
DO: Materials: cardboard, glue, string, found objects Process: Taking the cradle-desk in “Office Nap” as your inspiration, think of another, similar combination of different kinds of furniture or other objects morphed into one and create a model for such a hybrid object from the materials at hand. What is/are its function/s and how could it be used? Can you think of a name for your fantastical design?
EXTENSION: In some ways this work is reminiscent of Andrea Zittel‟s multi-purpose constructions. Research her work (http://www.pbs.org/art21/artists/zittel/#) and discuss similarities and differences between the artists.
