Few activities are as universal as drawing – it is the obsession of nearly all children of a certain age, all over the world. For kids of that age, discovering a surface at their height with tools for making things is an irresistible invitation to satisfy this addiction. The idea of Growth Table is use this phenomenon to transform an environment.
Low drawing surfaces and tools attract the guaranteed audience of artists (little kids). These conditions are then repeated at increasingly larger scales to allow those older and bigger to join in. The resulting form is intended to be a bit absurd, a bit funny, but also emblematic of the modest but universal pleasure of sitting down and making something.
Growth Table is one of several projects by Tim Durfee & Iris Anna Regn that examine objects and spaces that operate at multiple scales. As part of the artist Fritz Haeg’s Sundown Salon #28, Durfee and Regn created doll houses that were also functional objects (Field House and Meadow Table). Another project, Storyboard by Tim Durfee, imagines a personal library and place for reading collapsed into a single object.
