"I guess it depends on what kind of problems you’re facing, right? Sometimes avoiding feels necessary for survival."

Survival shouldn’t require beige, though. That feels like a really low aesthetic bar.

"That’s absolutely right. Once, I felt the lump of clay yielding perfectly under my fingers during a workshop, a real connection."
