Manifesto
My approach towards things and ideas are based on the principles of simplicity and quality. The genius designs of simple things, their simple construction, versatility and variety of application fascinate me. Nature is full of elegant examples teaching us the value of appropriate and complete design, all in perfect equilibrium with each other. I quest to find an optimum idea, a state of peace. Peace to me is not defined by what it is but what it is not. Peace is an indication of balance defined by the absence of conflict and friction.
The quest for simplicity and quality is difficult since there is so little of it in the clutter of daily life. Simplicity is sometimes a revolting philosophy in this day and age of abundance, quantity making up for the absence of quality. It is easy to fill our lives with junk, almost unintentional and convenient: physical junk from the dollar store, ebay, amazon and the likes as well as junk information from tumblr, twitter, facebook and blogs. It is imperative to sift through this junk and curate so one may find the few quality things and information that will enrich our lives. Curating is easy when there is not so much junk to start with. Curating is easy when one pays attention to detail because it is in this attention to detail that core quality is found. I am always seeking core quality.
