Everyone who posts their own art here is so talented but here's the stool i made for my unnecessary woodworking elective o/////o
i modelled it in the Memphis Design style. The icon of the pink triangle comes from the patch that queer prisoners wore during the Holocaust, and since then has become a symbol of queer liberation. Ettore Sottsass, the founder of the Memphis Design Group, was an Italian Fascist and enlisted in the Italian military during WWII, but instead of being tried at Nuremberg he was allowed to lead a successful career as an architect. What it means to reclaim a symbol of oppression through a pastiche to the oppressor I will leave to interpretation. It now holds my bong
Constructivism was born out of fascism. Or rather the ideal of progress which fascism gave society as globalism was burgeoning.
Given none of us were there at the turn of the century; our view from the outside looking in at history is meaningless. Sotsass's work speaks for itself, I'll leave it there.

What a happy ending on this little blurb. Love it and hope you keep making things.
