This brilliant motto comes from Venice, CA, artist Aaron Kramer. (It's also pretty much my own approach to crafting, but much more eloquently stated!) I just discovered Aaron Kramer about a week ago. Now I want to camp out in his studio and shadow his every move and bring him glasses of water.
After seeing his name twice in the span of a few days, (on The Urban Craft Center blog, and a press release about an upcoming charity event), I decided to go to his website. His art is so beautiful and intriguing, and it's completely made from repurposed materials.
These "boats" are made from slicing the edges from old wooden salad bowls, and putting them together. Here's an installation of them in the Hotel Sofitel in LA:
This chair is made up of wine bottle corks (how many times have you thought about saving those but not known what for??):
There's tons more on his site, all amazing. I'll keep you posted on whether he lets me bring my sleeping bag in to his studio.
