 ‘Making was a failure and disappointment’

A true goldsmith is ‘a man who combines the two great human

possibilities – Thought and Action – in one creative profession. He is a
unified, un-split person, and in this unity he finds the meaning and
harmony of his existence.’

To be honest, I have developed a dislike for all this interpretation, with a
lot of psychology and making public intimate things that really are one’s
own business. We work with form, and if I need words for it, then the
form isn’t good enough.

 What drives my work is pre-feeling – that is to say, the search for a
feeling that I look forward to finding out and which is trapped inside the
object I have just made, but which is already in me.
