bruce mau's 'massive change'
victor papanek 'what is design'
the wheels hub holds thirty spokes
utility depends on the hole through the hub
the potter's clay forms a vessel
it is the space within that serves
a house is built with solid walls
the nothingness of window and door alone renders it usable,
that which exists may be transformed
what is non existent has boundless uses.

dave foster (former faculty member at U of O) 'the road to success is strewn with failure. i think it's part of the way. people shouldn't be discouraged by it'... they have learned something, but never realized it, because they were too busy trying to win... they were busy trying to be successful, but were learning, you see, in spite of themselves... emphasis on process rather than produce... the artist examines his own ideas by giving them artistic form..
