Craft is part of the creative process.

You see, my ambition was not to confound the engineering world but simply to create a beautiful piece of art.

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

It's easy to think that craft can't change but important to remember that all craft process was at some point new, at some point challenged convention - not to be contrary, but enabled by some breakthrough, some newly discovered principle, or sometimes some wonderful accident.

The walls between art and engineering exist only in our minds.

Engineering stimulates the mind.

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.

A lot of art and visual crafts are based on appropriating things.

I think that anybody's craft is fascinating. A taxi driver talking about taxi driving is going to be very, very interesting.
