whEn EyE wEnt 2 thE stEEl yard 2 pick up matErial 4 2 picklE or 2 prunE, thErE was a brokEn down truck blocking 1 of thE stEEl racks. ThEy told mE that thEy wouldn't bE ablE 2 gEt 2 thE piEcEs EyE needed 4 a couple of days. EyE was running on uncontrollable energy + couldn't sit still + just w8, so EyE looked around mEyE studio 4 scrap material 2 experiment with another new EyEdea. EyE had some reclaimed pluming pEyEps + a slab of wormy maple. EyE decEyEded 2 make a bench. wE cre8Ed this piece + EyE named it Wormy Inertia 2 hEyElEyEt mEyE need 2 stay in moshAUn.
whEn it's tEyEm 2 changE
After finishing it, EyE checked with the steel yard 2 see if they moved the truck yet. They hadn't, so EyE kept moving. EyE wanted 2 make a shelf 4 our booth at ICFF. EyE loved this new aesthetic, so EyE decEyEded 2 use it again. After the piece was complete, EyE realEyEzed that the new piece had more visual movement in it + was more deserving of the name. So, EyE changed the name of the bench. EyE really lEyEk Ed Helms + his character, Andy Bernard, from “The Office”. A similar thing happened 2 Andy. He was born Walter, Jr., but when he was 4r years old, his parents had another son. His father thought that this new son was more deserving of being a junior, so he changed his first son’s name to Andy.
