I think our materialism is often totally disconnected from the idea that aesthetics are crucial to our abilitity to live humanely in the world. To be able to recognize and know beauty, to be able to be lifted up by it, to be able to choose the objects in your surroundings…I’ve always been interested in Buddhist room arrangment: how do we place something in our house so that we can be made more fully human by glancing at it, or by interacting with it? And there’s so little of that in our culture.
