Different attributes engaged me in these very different objects. Could I combine what intrigued me about each in a single tool? I wondered what sort of problem domain might let me create a tool that: Fit the hand like the saw tooth straightener. Would suggest to the body how it should be used as the drill does. Might feel as resilient as the rubber bands. Have the gorgeous & subtle tactility of the emu egg’s surface, and Express its “content” as differently as the stiff steel versus the liquid copper slinky.

Clapping and Knitting Few objects unify bodily polarities (left and right), as does the slinky. Pouring coil back and forth is a centering meditation for child and adult alike. We write with one hand, but type with two. Technology can form us into a cohesive body, or fragment us. Which is better: backpack or handbag, faucet or faucets, steering wheel or joystick?
