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.
Many thanks to @MicheleFGartner of mfgchange.com + Canada’s Trico Foundation for bringing me into such a thoughtful and inspired conversation on non-western forms of philanthropy, social entrepreneurship and the meeting of art, ethnography and design. Looking forward to following Michele’s work and to keeping our conversation going.
