“If any of the work might survive a thousand years, all would tell a story of our society, its needs, functions, rituals, issues and dreams. One direction would involve a more competitive and self promotional life, the other a quieter one. Ultimately I realized I wanted to make work which would function on a personal scale, and preferably within the intimacy of home. Neither a fine artist nor a craftsperson, but like most of us who are defined as craftspeople, I work in a space best defined as that of ‘The Tactile arts’ or, if you prefer, ‘L’art Intime’. It is enough to be a maker, for that is the definition of life.” - Peter Thomas.
