Abstract

In this thesis, I will describe my journey of coming into a Master of Fine Arts Furniture Design program from an Interior Design and Architecture background and how I found my identity as an artist. I will present the installation Perfect Imperfections: a space that I created with the intention of allowing people to interact with alluring, sensuous, familiar objects; to have fun, and to experience joy with playful, childlike, imagination. I suggest that creating spaces and objects that elicit positive emotional responses are beneficial to health and well-being. I propose that this installation situates itself somewhere between the domains of Art and Design in a realm that could be called DesignArt1. I believe that I have found a place where I can make a difference, that, like Carl AuboĢˆck, good design can heal the world, (Kois 10) and that designers have a responsibility to do good (design).
