Enignum Motion by Joseph Walsh
A PROJECTTenTenTen commission
for The Mint Museum of Craft + Design Uptown
American Craft: Sept 3, 2008
“My work is an expression of my values; how I see things and imagine they should be, translated into an object while addressing issues. Issues of structure, of form and of the senses, of space, light, technology and ecology; embracing what is around us and seeking its future potential. The resolve and execution of the making process, and the understanding of material, each play an important role in the refinement of this expression.” from portfolio for Crafts Council of Ireland
