Artists Statement:    For our desk, we decided to disassemble the desk and work to create a whole new structure.  By destroying it's original design, we have created a piece with an abstract concept.  Pertaining to education, we have touched on the intense emotions of a high school student.  The stress, pressure, and responsibility the average student faces are enough to cause an emotional implosion.  The visual explosion of the abstract desk is a direct representation of the emotional state of a high school student. About the Artists     Jamie, Meaghan, and Lauren all attend Harry D. Jacobs High School.  All three are currently place in a rigorous yearlong Advance Placement studio class.  A career in the art appeals to each of the three students.   Coming across the Desks on Parde project, allowed the girls to work collaboratively on a community project.
