The Rapture Of Being Alive

Why we create and collect is our pull toward meaning and our need for purpose. As Joseph Campbell has said, "the rapture of being alive" within "the experience of living." The awe of beauty. Who we are.

As Humans We Are Gatherers

As humans, we are gatherers, seekers, and wonderers, still telling stories under starlight and fire. We create and collect as a means of sense-making, easing and inspiring our human experience. Through beauty and the creative mind we thrive, present in the moment, with a pull toward the future.

Living In The Now, Present To Beauty

How we live in our homes is part of the process of creating and living our lives. A means to uplift, ease, and build the future possible. Through beauty and the creative endeavor, we thrive in the moment, deeper, wider, and onward. Living in the now, present to beauty.

Our Intuitive Draw

We are not simply the shell of our bodies, nor structure of our bones. Why we create and collect is our intuitive draw toward beauty, self-expression, and storytelling. Our need to make sense of our being human, by way of the built environment, making, and language. Finding purpose and meaning on a spinning planet amongst stars, galaxies, and the blackness of the unknown.

We Are Not Simply The Shell Of Our Bodies

We are not simply the shell of our bodies, nor structure of our bones, we are beauty, nature, curiosity and fear.

Our memories show us who we’ve been, and our desires what’s to come. We are of will and creative minds with the ability to build bridges and morph with change.
