anyway, i will use this blog to post not only about sustainability but my approach and appreciation of simple, well constructed modern design. i am most interested in design at the small scale, the beauty of the everyday. i paint minimalist paintings, design furniture, utensils, clothing, interior pieces and buildings.

in studio i am learning about what is gained through subtraction.

sustainability is a catch phrase right now in school. we speak of passive heating and cooling, high tech materiality and reuse.

however, i cannot help but think that the best resolution in sustainable design is simpleness. use what you need, edit what you do not.
