CAPSTONE PROJECT
QUIET RESISTANCE
Quiet Resistance is a collection of furniture that embodies Joel Galenkamp's approach to balancing our engagement with Virtual and Real Life. He engages in the processes of design and making to imbue the Real Life values of Stillness, Nature, Relationships and Imperfection into four pieces of furniture. Through this body of work, Joel seeks to create a catalyst for connecting with Real Life through the piece's functionality, and compelling visual nature.
