A round-up of things that have been shaping how we think about the work right now. Not recommendations exactly — more like evidence of an ongoing conversation.
A book: a slim catalogue from a 1982 exhibition of Japanese craft that we found in a used bookshop. The photographs are badly printed by current standards but that doesn't matter. The objects are so good that even a muddy reproduction communicates what needs communicating.
A material: undyed linen, specifically in a weight we found last month from a supplier in Belgium. It drapes differently than anything we've used before. We have no plans for it yet, which is the most interesting state — material without commitment, potential without pressure.
A question we keep returning to: what does it mean for something to be "finished?" Not in the sense of complete, but in the sense of done-enough. There is a point at which more work makes a thing worse, not better. We are trying to locate that point more reliably.
