The site I landed on feels much more isolated than it really is; it’s almost magical. Within its limited radius, there was a whole range of the local ecology Picture Quote #1

I’m interested in vernacular cultures, where people lived a little closer to the source of materials and the making of objects for use. And for me, not to rely strictly on the history of art has always been an interesting process, to be looking into areas that we call craft and trades Picture Quote #1

There remains this belief that the work itself can have an identity that can speak, whether it’s through beauty, or through ugliness, or whatever quality you put into the work. The work doesn’t have to be a transparent vehicle for you to say things about life today Picture Quote #1

I felt it was part of the spirit of the whole program to do more than simply make an object Picture Quote #1
