Meet a maker..
Photo of maker Mark Bishop I don't collect anything. I find it quite an interesting contrast that I make objects for people to aspire to own and live with, but I really don't want to live with any of them myself. I've made pieces for my family but for me.. a white room will do! Occasionally as a maker you are attracted to things but you soon exhaust their possibilities. It's part of that appetite that you have for looking and for investigating things.
