For me, who can design using software, using a computer is no different from adjusting and tuningURUSHI tools such as brushes, spatulas and whetstones as physical tools.
Whether it is a digital process or physical one is no longer an important issue in contemporary craftexpression. I really wonder who can draw a line between digital work and hand work as bothmethods are defined by your creativity.
Despite a strong interest in digital creativity which has huge possibilities and capability as a formfinding method, I will never abandon handwork. I cannot because craftsmanship certainly exists incraft, and also does so in digital creativity.
