But To Me, To Be Original Is

I Do Feel That The World Is Entering Into A Period Of The Incredible Period Of Reflection And Introspection. A Lot Of People Are Questioning The Future, And I Can't Help But Think That's A Positive Thing. I'm Not Sure About The Art World, But The Design World May Be Able To Offer Some Solutions. Design Is About Troubleshooting. As A Designer, I Ultimately Feel Like A Gun For Hire. Companies Hire Me Because They've Got A Problem. That's Kind Of What It Boils Down To. And I Think This Is A Moment In Our History Where We Need Different Solutions.

And Where I Grew Up In Australia, Surfing Was A Part Of Culture.

Well, I Never Studied Design And I Went To Art School To Study Art, You Know, Sculpture And Things Like That, And Ended Up Making Things Like Sculpture And Started Making Chairs And Jewelry Together And That's How I Started.

So If I Design It And Then Go Away, It's Still Living Somewhere And It Still Exists By Itself Without Me.

I Have A Lot Of Objects In My Space, Little Things, Reminders, Memories.
