Catching up on magazines yesterday with my iced coffee al fresco, Skunkeye caught this in a design rag:
You're a great believer in the potential of design to change society. How would you convince a skeptic?
I'd say that creativity is our life insurance. If you are creative, you are never afraid, because you can design yourself out of any situation. Wars, violence, and victimization originate in anger. Fear produces anger. Creativity banishes fear, and therefore takes away anger. All education - especially of small children - must teach creativity, above all else.
Kinda an utopian view but inspiring nonetheless. In these times.
The woman being interviewed is visionary/curator Li Edlkoort, who is making big bucks in "trend forcasting" for various corporations. Gotta love the Dutch!
Skunkeye with the questionabley green thumb and the (un)natural instincts has been gardening/doing yard work all weekend - at my sisters' and at home and now off to grandma. My blooms are really kicking.
