I was fascinated with jeans, because you can impress your life upon the jeans you wear. The way you sit imprints on the jeans.

When people come to Twitter and they want to express something in the world, the technology fades away. It's them writing a simple message and them knowing that people are going to see it.

I fell in love with flora of all types, especially ferns. Loved the sparse structure and repetition of shape - almost fractal.

I loved couriers. You had this transfer of physical information happening throughout the city and the world.
