Made with love

"Craftsmanship to be artistic in the final sense must be 'loving'; it must care deeply for the subject matter upon which skill is exercised."

--John Dewey, Art as Experience, p. 69

This is why, then, my Thai curry is art, and my thesis is not. Today I do the work of writing the thesis and tomorrow I practice the art of making curry. (Yum!)

Haha! I love it! You are so funny Mer! I hope that eventually you'll grow to love your thesis as much as curry...but...it's highly unlikely. I mean, I know how much you LOVE your curry!
