INSPIRATIONS

We’re inspired by 100,000 years of human experience and creativity—from the earliest primal gestures playing with line and color and representation to the exuberant excesses flowing from digital minds in communion with our own. We’re inspired by the commonalities among peoples over space and time, and the vastly different ways we seek to explain and inhabit our daily lives. We’re inspired by the complexities and simplicities of form and line, and the power of color and texture to shape, refine, and extend stories. We’re inspired by the power of beauty to overcome the banal and voguish, and the power of imperfection and distillation to remind us of what’s truly important.
