Where is Perfection?

  Perfection. The mere utterance conjures idealism succinctly answered. To many there are examples of this everywhere, to others nothing can be Perfect. Many look to make Perfection their own and provide this definition and dimension to their lives by altering Perfection as it has been created. In doing so they are willing to fore go the Perfection that an object offers in order to create perfection in their own sense. But is that Perfection as well? So then is Perfection individual or collective? And does Perfection come from the function of the individual in relation to Perfected object,or event, or is it the relation of the object (already Perfect) to the person. Furthermore does the function of a Perfect object, or event, end with the duty provided? Or, does Perfection last for infinite time as a result of the occurance of the encounter of the individual and event or object. Essentially, where does Perfection begin and where does it end? Or is it like the sky where we touch it at all times just at varying depths?

A Perfect Day

    No matter. For me Perfection is attained when an object, situation,or an idea is succintly answered. The answer can be for a fleeting moment or last for all eternity. Either way, a Perfect “event” lasts forever with the simple impact that it happened. To the best of my ability, I will chronicle those elements here under the Perfection heading. To the current few enjoying this blog, I hope this is a refreshing return to the essence that makes life enjoyable.

Formal Presentation of the Impression $600-$2000

    In completing my portfolio for submission to a Masters of Architecture program I took more proper photos of the newly named Impressive Coffee Table. Which, by the way, is available for purchase.
   The one pictured is Cedar from a wind fall tree in Lake Tahoe, CA. Worm holes and nicks from the saw have been filled in and smoothed over with clear epoxy and reveal the organic history and working marks of the piece. It is available for $3500 (this is a personal piece and does not reflect the general pricing structure). Dimensions are 60"Lx 24"Wx 17"H.
   -Or, if one prefers, a hand built Impressive can be made to specification.
   -Any choice of wood (except imaginary, extinct or endangered)
   -Wood finish can be impeccable or show some marks of the wood's history
      (appropriately polished with 6 coats of varnish or other appropriate finish)
   -Gloss or satin varnish
   -Steel base can be slightly distressed (as shown) or clean and waxed.
   -Pricing then will ballpark between $600-$2000 before shipping.
Enjoy!



Modern Bench

  So we had a large group of friends over for dinner and there just wasn't enough seating. Two tables + (six chairs - 10 guests) = X. X equals not enough seats? Right? The answer really came in the form of two benches. and here they are!
        


   Being relatively new to the higher latitudes I must add that photography is rather difficult, even at midday. That is when these pictures were taken and I am more than just a little disappointed that this is how low the shadows were!
