I used to have a milk crate filled with scraps of wood and other various bits – pieces saved from a woodworking class I took in college. I’d build little sculptures using this really potent super glue called Zap-a-Gap. Sometimes I’d bring the box into my office and my colleagues and I would make a sculpture over the course of a week. One piece per person per day. We’d treat it like a game of design strategy – trying to see if we could create something balanced, even beautiful.
Eventually I purged that box of wood scraps during a move. I miss it. You got any wood scraps? I’m now accepting donations…
