I am a furniture designer and craftsman.
In the 34 years I've been working in Eastern Iowa, I've found there is a quality--or more correctly, a presence--in the custom pieces I've made that enhances the space they dwell in. The object could be a door or a desk--it really doesn't matter; this new entity has life in it that adds to the surroundings and to the life of its new owners. There is a quality and a purpose that can be touched and intuited, something that is much more than the sum of the labor and raw materials that go into an object.
This is a quality that lasts, and it is there every time you open a cabinet door to reach for your favorite coffee mug. There is life inside.
