I believe that beauty is the absence of the unnecessary.

 

I believe that the ideal outdoor sculpture contrasts its surroundings by placing emphasis on its natural environment and is not self indulgent.

While designing my furniture I asked myself ''what is my furniture doing and not doing for me?"  By asking myself that question I realized that all furniture is essentially a "serving form". when designing my 70 degree coffee table and 82 degree end table I put performance first, the look was a byproduct of the function. Now, my approach to furniture is "will this form serve me? Or, will I have to serve this form?"

The act of placing furniture in your home or office is the beginning of a relationship.  Speaking from my personal experience, moving into a relationship purely on looks tended to be high maintenance. Moving into a relationship on pure logic tended to be uninspiring.

When it comes to serving form i seek balance. but, I also want it all!  I want beauty and I want it to perform to my needs.  With all the options in the market one never needs to settle. It is a matter of understanding your needs and exploring what the market has to offer.

In an effort to define what "Art" is I search for a common ground, an element  found in all Art. I find that all Art is "Form" and all Art is "Significant". To me significant-form is what all Art is.
