“Look Listen and feel”
As a lifeguard and beach lover I would dream about lifeguarding on the beach. I never got there. I would always want to bring a piece of the beach home with me. Sand, rocks, shells would mark each year at the beach. Look, listen, and feel refers to the steps you go through to access a drowning victim. Look to survey the scene, listen for breathing, and feel for a pulse. What if you could capture the sounds sights and feelings of the ocean? Could something made out of clay save the sounds of the beach? Steal the sounds of the ocean in a tabletop set up. Maybe I can’t steal the ebb of the tides but the sound of the sea breeze seemed possible. At the same time I could house all the sand collected over the years.

“My King-size milk cup”
As a simply functional object my milk cups needed to be king-sized. I Love milk usually skim although it may seem like water to some. I can drink a gallon a day. It soothes my stomach and calms my nerves. I also am a big donut and cookie fan. However, nothing goes down with out milk. If I buy cookies, milk goes in the cart shortly after. If you are a milk lover like me you know that an eight-ounce glass just does not cut it. Even the biggest glass in my cupboard is only about twenty ounces, believe it or not I need two to wash down the cookies and of course dunk them. One last problem with large hands dunking only works for the first couple of gulps. Sometimes I even use one glass to dunk and one glass to sip. My King-size milk was designed after a Burger king king-sized soda cup which provides ample dunking space and extreme drinkability.

“Live Mortar”
Immigrants arrived in America hoping for streets paved with gold. Maybe there was some gold but not enough to pave the streets. So maybe the gold dream of America turned to brass, but at least we have this nice green ring around the country. However it is quickly disappearing. Our land is all we really have through manifest destiny we have gathered as much land as we could despite knocking off the rightful owners of the land. Since we have it lets take care of what we got. You can’t pave all of paradise. Like central park, we can organize our urban sprawl to harmonize with the landscape not take it over. Decide to use live mortar between our iron giants in the major cities of the US. The “Celestine Prophesy” by James Redfield gives insight into understanding why our society needs to keep safe some of the oldest natural environments in the world.
