Three Nights Ago I Read These Lines
I'm still wading through WCW's Paterson. These lines stay with me. And now it just won't rain. Old pictures of the surrounding mountains. Waiting for a big moment.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
La Maison Flottante Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec
From an unpublished conversation I had with one of the Bouroullec brothers in 2006:
I consider that what is clearly poetic in our work is that we make a lot of. . .we use a lot of already existing memories that lie beyond objects. Quite often for us, the choice of shape or the choice of material are really based on the interpretation that people already have of this kind of shape, of this kind of material. So, quite often we try to make things remind people of something that already exists, but what is interesting in finishing an object is that people are not at all inside, I would say, a scientific or rational understanding of what they remember or do not remember. In fact, it's more the body, it's the back back back of the mind that triggers a memory. So, is it comfortable sitting on a chair? Quite often it's more that their body tells them, you know, I like this fabric. Or, you know, I like this shape. Or this profile, I find it ergonomic. So it's really making a merge, some thing that people aren't able to describe or even to deconstruct. So, in that case, we can use the same kind of logic that is used in poetry.
