CH.89: Where do you draw your inspiration from?

AR: I find my inspiration from everything around me every day.

CH.89: Can you talk a little bit about what your creative thought process is like when starting a new project/ piece of artwork?

CH.89: When starting out an artistic task, do you think it is better to have a particular direction/set plan guiding your way? Or, is it better to act on impulse and go from there?

CH.89: What do you think of technology in terms of being a useful tool for artists today?

AR: Yes, technology is important because design evolves therewith. But I think it important to reconnect with traditional manufacturing techniques as they give extra sensitivity to the object created. Particularly wood, a material that I love.
