ART & ARTIFACTS
FORM IS FUNCTION
Whether it’s a painting or sculpture or any other unique, well-wrought aesthetic element that lives within a space — it should work to satisfy our subconscious need for beauty. That, itself, is a practical purpose.
Once I met an antique merchant in Kathmandu. The quality of his pieces were exceptional. Surprised, I asked him if there was a market for such fine things in an area that was otherwise depressed. He said, “There is always a market for fine things. If you deal in quality, sooner or later someone will always appreciate it.”

I think of art as all the things we choose to surround ourselves with. It is a way of seeing the world. It’s not so much about how EXPENsive or rare something is; it is about appreciation. good Taste is a luxury that anyone can afford.
