Language can stimulate imagination and creativity. Words have power and meaning, use them with care.

Look at the light.

"Ideas are ten-a-penny. Everyone gets them. It's just that we tend to edit them out or throw them away; we dismiss them as irreverent and unworthy, or we start to develop them but become riddled with self-doubt and lose our energy. Ideas have to be fostered, made friends with, and then encouraged through their various stages until they're strong enough to stand on their own. When they're ready, they'll make their own demands and direct their own completion." - Nick Bantock

Architecture is about space, not mass.

Stop looking to yourself, start looking at the world.

Collage is an act of curation - it is the act of hunting and gathering.

Visualization is continuous - it cannot be packaged into tidy categories - learn to see beyond.

Practicality and imagery need to go hand in hand.

Connectors and devices are important. Don't make the viewer go through the garbage to reach the visual treasure.

Hardware carries emotional weight, use them with care.

Heavy-handedness is not a good thing, learn to be subtle.

Cutesy is lame.

Occupy your own life creatively, even if things fall flat.

Interact, not connect.

Learn time by the river

Effort goes into making something look effortless.

What lies below the surface affects the surface.

The body is the first instrument to play in artmaking.

"When I make a work, I often take it to the very edge of its collapse." - Andy Goldsworthy

There is a world beyond what words can define. Art occupies this space.

The creative life is lived outside the institution, in your own mind.

You have to eat, breathe and sleep creatively in order to make creatively.

Innovation is not the same as developement.

We use linguistic shorthand to deal with complexity.

Conciousness and objectivity play a part in this kind of work.

All the visual components and elements carry considered, effective voice in imagery.
