“I’m not even going to tell you what this is. Only that it’s a mistake. But it is a beautiful mistake”

“There was some kickback from the table saw. This piece of wood hit me clean in the face. It left a scar.”
“When my intern presented this, I asked him whether or not he’d tried any other variations. He hadn’t.”
“My sister and I used to play chess on our summer vacation. We got so good at it we tried making the game harder by mixing up different pieces. It’s harder to see the board state when the pieces don’t look traditional.”
“I don’t want to be in Florida. I don’t want to be with this person. I hate musicals. I want to go home. I want to go home.”
“I barely escaped the subway platform with my life. My poor screwdriver fell out of my pocket though. RIP Screwdriver.”
“I had to cut a scrap of this mesh to help patch a hole in the wall. I put the hole in the wall, but I’m embarrassed to say how…”
My nephew and I made a potato gun using off-the-shelf hardware store parts like this. The moment it was finished I realized how dangerous it was and took it away. He cried. Doesn’t the blue part remind you of a hat on a weird green face?
A.4.07 (Metal hand tool)
“I grew up on the same block as a textile factory. Around the age of twelve I used to sneak in there and look at the machines. I tripped over this, it fell down a flight of metal stairs and it made so much noise that I ran home and never went back. I took it with me when I saw it at the bottom of the stair case.”
A.0.16 (Medical equipment labelled “Experimental. Not for Human Use”)
“The medical bag inside was left over when [redacted] visited. Then [redacted] printed the sticker from this label maker by the printer, stuck it on the plastic bag and left it in the kitchen. No one wanted to touch it, I think [redacted] finally put it in the basement.”
A.5.05 (A folded piece of cardboard, Drawn on)
This cardboard was being used to keep a door ajar in a room that I didn’t have the key to. Being locked out would have ruined my process for they day. It’s funny how at certain points in time, something as unimportant as a bit of cardboard can be the most important object you’re using. While contemplating this I noticed it was folded a bit like a laptop, so I drew a little “screen” while I was bored after lunch.
A.4.01 (Acrylic model of a table-like artifact)
It was actually made to be used upside-down. We needed something to hold up 4 tall cylindrical objects for a [redacted] project we were prototyping. We foraged a few scraps of white acrylic from the shop area and hot glued them together. After the project ended, I took a few of the “tables” home for my daughters. They use them in various table-like capacities; For example, as doll house furniture.
