edit. One thing I'm particularly interested in with regards to these sculptures is the engineering, which allows for mobility. Mobility is the most precious resource on this planet, but can also lead to disharmony. For example, I had to leave Karachi when I was a kid. It's one of the world's biggest cities. By Ann Arbor standards, Toronto is a big city—but to me it felt totally deserted. I thought Ann Arbor was a small town for a long time, because I'd never been to Atlanta, Michigan.
Both of my grandfathers were engineers. One of them built water purification plants [in Africa, apparently]. He taught me math, and how to draw [and basically everything else I know]. My other grandfather worked on planes somehow. He used to tell me the story of Jack and the Beanstalk, and show me how everything is magic. [I took physics, later. He wasn't kidding for a minute, it is all just magic.] He once found a Hoberman sphere in my toy box and his eyes lit up. I think about it all the time.
Things change based on how you interact with them. It's hypothesised that this effect can be observed right down to the world's smallest things, a theory called wave-particle duality. I think it's especially true on an interpersonal scale. Phenomenology brings up the idea that maybe this interaction is the basis of reality. {So, these are things I'm thinking about. But to be clear, I just want to make clothes.}
