The Thing That I Champion Is Sustainability.

I'm Terribly Fastidious. I Like Symmetry And Neatness, But My House Is As Chaotic As Any Other Family's.

Living An Environmentally Responsible Lifestyle Can Seem Like A Scrooge-like List Of Don'ts. Don't Take That Flight, Don't Buy That Car, Don't Eat Those Blueberries Flown In From Somewhere Far-flung.

I Don't Enjoy Living In A White Box Flooded With Light. I Like Shadows, Small Spaces, Old Furniture.

I Like The Absurd And The Surreal: The Coen Brothers, Bunuel, Kubrick.

Every Decently-made Object, From A House To A Lamp Post To A Bridge, Spoon Or Egg Cup, Is Not Just A Piece Of 'stuff' But A Physical Embodiment Of Human Energy, Testimony To The Magical Ability Of Our Species To Take Raw Materials And Turn Them Into Things Of Use, Value And Beauty.
