WORKS
PORTFOLIO OF
Chrisoula Kapelonis
The craftsman needs to develop specific relationships between thought and making, idea and execution, action and matter, learning and performance, self-identity and work, pride and humility. The craftsman need to embody the tool or instrument, internalize the nature of the material and eventually turn him/herself into his/her own product, either material or immaterial. -Juhani Pallasmaa
