well just got back from the lecture and......i don't care what anyone says, the mans a genius. it was very intertaining, very funny man.
locked into a style.....well yeah, that's who he is, that is his style just like any other artist or designer. each of us has our own style that takes years to develop. once you achieve that, then that is what you are known for.
i don't just love his finished product, i love what he does to get there. as he mentioned tonight, he doesn't like books on his work because it doesn't portray the process, it shows the finished product that can sometimes be lifeless. it's about the process of doing and getting to the final stage that carries or embodies the work.
yes of course his firm uses computers to help produce his work but like many of us face, the computer can sometime make things too easy which takes the life out of creating something. it has to start from your mind then flow through to your hands rather then letting a program to the steps for you. with my work the computer is the last step, the last tool.
gee can't tell i just came from his lecture can you....i'm very inspired by not only this mans work but he himself. i've always loved the process rather then the ending. ok, time to go to lowes to get some supplies....it's time to build.
