Chapter 2
The mythic and the mundane
For Chapter 2, we exult in the mythic and the mundane – why making something ordinary into something extraordinary is one of the most honest paths to human happiness. The tangible pleasure in using one’s own agency, hands, feelings and judgement to meld, shape, touch, handle and craft something unformed and turn it into something beautiful. Milk becomes cheese, fabric becomes clothing and paint on walls becomes a home.
Tiny places of joy
There is a cupboard at the top of my home that is the keeper of many things. It is original to the house and is humble in its attic room design, as is the way of Georgian houses.
