I think that is the future, because these days its very hard to make a living in hand - made furniture, and I think this marketplace cant sustain itself a whole lot longer. A lot of galleries are closing, and not as many people are buying. So what does that make you think? If the 30 - year rule is true, how do you react? Ill just keep doing what I do. I dont know how my work will change; Ive never known how it would change. But its certainly not going to change based on what I think is about to happen in the marketplace. A long time ago somebody asked me if I wanted to design for industry. I didnt at the time. Now I think, maybe in retirement. When I cant do it myself anymore and I can only draw, then maybe thats the time to think about that. For now, I get too much pleasure out of making things.

I do a lot of looking at things first I might be in the garden looking at a leaf or in a museum looking at a painting.
