Quotations



"To restore to the designer the experience of direct experience of a medium, is, I think, the task today. Here is, as I see it, a justification for crafts today. For it means taking, for instance, the working material into the hand, learning by working it of its obedience and its resistance, its potency and its weakness, its charm and dullness. The material itself is full of suggestions for its use if we approach it unaggressively, receptively."
 
"Independent of harmony rules, any color ‘goes’ or ‘works’ with any other color, presupposing that their quantities are appropriate."
