Inspiration

We are all constantly looking for inspiration for all sorts of things. To get out of bed, create a better life, finish an essay or maybe start a sculpture. A friend of mine used to say it was our job as human beings to make the world more beautiful in any way we can.

Our life should be a reflection of our belief in the beauty of the world.

For this to happen we need to be aware of what inspires us. Is it the detail people go to, the idea someone is chasing or simply the commitment someone displays. Does it always have to be an end product that is inspirational or is the journey equally (or more) important?

There is some irony in the fact I start this blog on the anniversary of the death of a women that was incredibly inspirational to me for the last 20 (or so) years of my life. She will continue to be - that is part of her beauty.

I once said to her "Oh Sheena - it's just fashion!" Well - she turned on me so fast "NO Brook - it's not. It's totemism. It's the way we communicate who we are to the rest of the world everyday." At 20 I was definitely put back in my place.

Design and art should be allowed to effortlessly be a part of how we behave and live everyday - maybe it's just laziness not to but more likely it's there - we just forget to look.

This blog is dedicated to looking, to sharing and maybe even promoting the apparent design we have around us.

The beauty that is atainable to us all to make our lives that much more fulfilling.

We all deserve to live an inspired life.

I hope you enjoy xo
