Displayed Table Part 2, Furniture Dasein

Table dimensions, approx 2'x3', 18" high.  Walnut and glass

Frustration, difficulty and growth are my companions when building furniture.  However, at the end of the project, I often find satisfaction, relief and wisdom waiting for me.  I've mentioned before that sometimes I think I'm too impulsive to build furniture, because of the planning involved.  I rarely build with a plan, I rather find myself in a sort of conversation or negotiation with material, temporal and spacial constraints as I bring to life what I'd imagined.  I find myself stopping and re-evaluating a lot, thinking "this won't/can't work" or "what have I gotten myself into?"

I find that even though planning could often save me a headache or two, I would sacrifice some spontaneity, which is something I like present in the process.  Planning in certain ways introduces a mechanical restriction on my improvisatory leaning.  So I find myself being pulled by impulse/inclination and bound by my situation.  This is inevitable, though I'm regularly found surprised by it.  I'm very selective about remembering that I am situated. 

Dasein, design 
Make it, in time.

Contained, inclined
Give shape, by mind. 

Physically-opined
Walnut, Glass-lines,

Soon gone, not mine
Recompense, now thine...
