Thomas Heatherwick Art Quotations

Museums just seem to have this borrowed cachet—if I want to seem cultural, I will design something cultural. I resist the idea that culture is only opera houses or theatres. Culture is your entire life around you: toilets, the bus, the kerb or the dump where you drag your waste. Culture has come to mean the arts, but it’s swimming pools as well.

I don't feel I'm trying to make art. I'm trying to make interesting things. People can relate to that.
