I prefer designing work
that is fabricated by members of a community.
Then the work becomes the work of the people through a process of PARTICIPATORY AESTHETICS.
In the shared experience of fabricating (painting, sewing, needle pointing, constructing, cutting, hammering, gluing, etc.), the community comprehends design choices, understands the necessity of reciprocity in seeking meaning from the work, and flourishes in a joyful process.
Deep correspondences exist between participation in creative processing and spiritual formation.
