Designers on your doorstep

Spending an increased amount of time at home has cultivated space for ideas around resource and access. Materials and access to machinery
and service providers is not as readily available and often stunted. There is a slowness that has to be adopted, and this is starting to
impact some more recent design ideas.
Perhaps slightly, or beginning to have a rolling affect. There is more of a focus on every day goods, and utilitarian objects. Utilising
what is immediately around us feels key, without trying to engage with people or outside services is a new habit. Using what is already in
our tool shop or material library, referencing neighbourhood waste, and our surrounding natural environment feels apt.
The Darebin Parklands has been a great refuge and find, in my eyes it has many a design gem; an unexpected rock formation, interesting
nooks, paths, and fallen matter.
My favourite room in the house is anywhere with good natural light, which often shifts. This is a favourite corner of late - my sister and I
are still setting up our space. Georgia also runs her ceramics studio from our home, a lot of the time every surface is covered with a
collection of our projects.
I have many a favourite object, and often these are tools! This cloth bound edition of Art & Illusion by E.H. Gombrich
though, is a remaining favourite for it's cover, and it's content.
Ricotta with Raspberry Coulis on Toast!
with a good drizzle of honey atop.
This can be whipped up very quickly, the raspberry coulis, a bit of a single serve cowboy edition.
Get your saucepan a little bit warm, add a good squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of honey, and a dash of water, mix together.
Throw raspberries in, and let it sit for a minute, then you can beginning to moosh raspberries with a fork.
Taste a little - adjust lemon & honey to taste, then build your toast!
