Life is made from what we use, wear, touch, tolerate, enjoy, maintain, reject, and return to. Field Notes looks closely at the objects, choices, pleasures, difficulties, materials, and standards inside that ongoing life.
Begin with the four ideas behind Bad Lion.
Bad Lion makes considered objects for human life as it is already lived. The burden is on the object to deserve a place in it.
Repeated acts are not the space between important moments. Across days and years, they become the life itself.
Story, design, photography, and language can reveal an object’s value. They cannot manufacture value the object has not earned.
Honest language can be poetic, sensual, strange, and memorable. The image may rise, but the poem must touch the ground.
Life is already happening.
