This studio matters, just like everything else matters.
That was one thing I learned.
I remember when I was a kid,
I would draw squares and circles and,
draw little things in those squares and circles.
I wrote numbers.
What I always did,
was to leave an open space between the lines.
The squares and circles were never enclosed, but open.
I thought I should leave a door for the little things and numbers to escape at night,
when I wasn’t looking.
I treated the scribbles as if they were alive.
Maybe everything is alive,
in a sense.
Then I realized that I am telling stories again.
An idea that motivates doing,
An approach taken to adapt,
A habit that promises exemplarity,
A concern for what future leads,
A determination to be the change,
A moral dilemma,
A new system.
An epiphany.
Our studio.
