I care deeply about craft: the quality of how something is made and the experience it enables.

I made all sorts of things: drawings, sculptures - I was doing origami before I even knew the word. I was constantly creating.

I like arts and crafts.

I've been getting pretty focused about that recently, and even considered doing a masters degree to polish up the craft. I've been pretty lucky in that I seem to have found people online who are willing to constructively tear it apart for me, and indicate its weaknesses.

I prefer making stuff to talking about how I made the stuff.

I like crafts that are made out of necessity because they're a little naive - you made it because you needed it.

Craft is part of the creative process.

I think the reason for my fascination with craft is what it represents, what it means in our culture, what it means in our history and in humanity. It was the idea that you could go to your butcher to get something, you could go to your tailor to get this, and you could go to your cobbler to get that.

Artistically I am still a child with a whole life ahead of me to discover and create. I want something, but I won't know what it is until I succeed in doing it.
