Evian Year Bottle - Gwenael Nicolas |
Most people thinks the more books you read the more knowledgable you become, while this is true to an certain extent, but lately i cannot help to notice i am unable to think laterally outside the books i have read. It is as if part of the roots starts to deteriorate. The thinking process which have fixated on those readings or researches is making the mind harder to accept new beliefs. Looking at Paul Smith the fashion designer who has a diverse range of inspiration from child toys to animals and was keen on to have a literal mind has give me some insights on his thinking process.
"Have a childlike (not childish) approach to life, think laterally and always be curious, observant and optimistic." - Paul Smith
It is my hope to pull sources from broad range of disciplinary into design.To erase the idleness of our mundane life, revisiting that joy of discovery again. Easy said than done, but it must happen, otherwise this is as far as you get.
"Youth is not a time of life it is a state of mind" - Tadao Ando.
