Honesty

Inspiration A
A fine straight plank. A talented cabinetmaker. Together we are to walk the plank. In my ears, this sounds like an opportunity to make something very complicated. I suggest a piece of furniture that transforms the fine, straight plank into a large, spherical seat, via the most delicate craftsmanship possible.

Inspiration B
The fascination of a birds nest. The delicate structure, often placed far above the ground, housing both small and large creatures. The urge to lie quietly curled up and protected does not always disappear just because the body outgrows the cradle, but the facilities for doing so become more and more scarce with age.
