3rd semester reviews are a big event here at Cranbrook. It serves as our last formal critique with faculty from across the Academy before the Degree show in May. I chose to use a space in an auxilliary studio building called "the hangar" which is below one of the dormitories. This dormitory happens to have a leaky pipe which has been seeping through the floor and the ceiling of the hangar. This has been a nuisance to the people who use the building, and has caused the space to be more or less neglected this semester.
Three slipcast porcelain sinks derived from a thermoformed plastic mold catch the drips from the celiing and the water collects in the plumbing between them. The tabletop is made up of laminated plywood with the end grain facing up. The surface was then covered in graphite, and buffed down until it became reflective. Besides the rather dirty water, bits of the ceiling fell in the sinks and on the table over the few days it was installed.
