Dreaming
The Final Draft
I want writing tools to leave the desk and become the surface. First I need to solve sharp points, leaking ink, and the fact that pens are surprisingly heavy in groups.
Point and leak study
Pens, pencils, markers, revisions, and discarded thoughts
DREAMING / CONSTRUCTION HAS NOT BEGUN
The Final Draft
A dossier before an object. Materials have been named. The workbench has not accepted them yet.
OBJECT RECORD
What exists, and what it does.

The Final Draft makes revision physical. Lines, caps, clips, and discarded tools move from the desk onto the body.
PHYSICAL EVIDENCE
Up close, attachment, seams, and wear become visible.
Desk lamp with red-pencil and flash details
CONSTRUCTION RECORD
Where the surface meets the body.
Materials
Pens, pencils, markers, revisions, and discarded thoughts
Weight or current measure
Empty and full tools will be tested separately.
Construction
Begin with emptied barrels, capped points, and removable rows on a backed panel.
Wear
Points stay capped or removed, and barrels stay clear of bending joints.
Care
Ink and plastic require separate checks for transfer, cracking, and leaks.
