“This space is my womb-space. I escape into it, away from the chaos of the world. You can call it a library, my personal workspace, a workshop, a den. There is abundant green just outside the door. The space has a lot of red and copper because these colours energize me and inspire my grey cells to think. Everything in this space is old and recycled. Some furniture is over 50 years old but the copper and red make it fresh (and a little bit gimmicky). Everything is exceptionally ordinary and utilitarian. Not designerly - in the ordinary sense of the word. The space itself is an industrial tin shed. There are bits of origami everywhere - predominantly in the ceiling, some lighting, the clock, a flower vase. These are all bits of love gifted to me by people who know I love origami. I have two abstract paintings here by one of my favourite artists - Shubhra Das. I am extraordinarily fortunate to have a space like this to call my own. Everyone living in a city deserves to have a space (even if smaller), to call completely their own, their thinking place.”
