STATEMENT
Our unrestricted access to every detail of the past, present, and future has transformed how we engage with design. Creative sources and voices flow in from every direction, saturating and molding our perception until we sometimes feel enhanced – as if we've developed new instincts.
This intuition frees me to create objects without dogmatic aesthetic constraints. While I pay respectful homage to Brutalism, Futurism, Bauhaus, and the like, I also maintain that excellent craftsmanship, honest use of materials, and even ornamentation can evoke strength and grounding in us. It's all material. — Jessie Nelson
