This video link shows a master bootmaker at work. He’s from GUIDI, established in Tuscany in 1896 as a tannery and leather supplier. It’s now headed by Ruggerio Guidi. This company has been the inspiration for my leatherwork these past few years.
Most of my early professional work was ethnographic, having received doctoral training in anthropology. I later began crafting stories with materials, sounds and light to express what is beyond language. I still work in relationship with people but mostly, nowadays, with plants and soils whose lessons are far worthier of our attention.
