I felt more like a scientist exploring nature, and Windows was my environment. You don't pass judgment on nature; you just explain how it works.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Any device in science is a window on to nature, and each new window contributes to the breadth of our view.
Most of us live in artificial environments and then we go to work in artificial environments and the world becomes something that you see through a window.
I feel that my environment reflects my belief in the grace and art and elegance of living simply.
Personally, I am not so affected by my environment. What I build in the creative process is not necessarily connected to what I am physically in contact with. I am always observing everything, but it will not necessarily have a direct impact on what I do.
In any case, whenever technical progress opened a new window into the surrounding world, I felt the urge to look through this window, hoping to see something unexpected.
I would often see windows that looked to me like they weren't real - almost like a painting on a wall instead of a window. I thought it was kind of a cool idea.
I became startled by the extraordinary difference between something whose surface is completely invisible which only makes itself present by virtue of what it reflects, and a window, which doesn't make itself apparent at all, in the ideal case.
What matters is 'Have you done a better job of making our experiences feel like home on Windows?' That's our real goal, and that's what we're going to stay focused on.
I never use nature as a starting point. I never abstract from nature; I never consciously think of nature when I paint.
The environment is everything that isn't me.
