Write about how doing research is affecting your 3^rd Chair

Research has always been a component of papers, but I have not really considered it when thinking about making something. Usually there is an assignment and it is to be completed with the materials given. However, this class has brought more for me to consider through my creative and assembling process. This class has also made see research in a different way. Research includes gathering information from family and friends over the phone and even some interviews that may have taken place throughout the process. Due to the chair I have decided to focus on being one that existed within my childhood, picking up the phone and asking my mom about it, screenshooting some images from google that resembled the chair I remember and sending them to my mother to see which one is most accurate, and even reaching out to other family members all formed part of my research. I wondered where it came from, where did it go, and why I interacted with it the way I did. For some reason all the questions I began to ask somehow allowed me to go back in time and think about what the chair meant to me which then have impacted the way my 3rd chair is coming along.
