Ornamento
http://ornamento.wordpress.com
I am interested in creativity and inspiration, and how they are influenced by landscape, community, tradition, history, philosophy, religion, culture, life experience and access to materials. Don’t forget science and math. They are all related. I intend to focus on those topics in this Blog.
