A key element of the idea of modern craft lies in these
observations. In an affirmation of
process over product, amateur craft is to do with the need to physically engage
with things ....it is not the same thing as the obsessive. Intense search that
is central to the professional sphere.
The former is to do with the injection of the subjective self into
objective phenomena the latter is to do with the objectification of the
subjective.

Works of art are not objects, works of art are relationships
between people and oblects,. If the
relationship does not exist, neither does the work of art.
Art is primarily an ides. Remove the ides and only social class and economics remain.

The actual making of beautiful objects is only one aspect of
the success or failure of a genre.
