I have been scrolling through Brian W. Ferry's work the past couple of days and was intrigued by his photo on a work for the magazine Freunde von Freunden.
So, I followed the link to the article about a young couple, Jessica Barensfeld and Simon Howell, and really enjoyed it. I'm not sure if this is typical of this magazine's interview style, but if it is, I'm hooked. Ignoring typographical errors (sorry, I'm an English teacher), I really enjoyed the questions. It seems to me that most magazines interviewing artists and designers dwell more on the actual material aspects of the designer's product--only intersting to those in their particular field--and ignore the human element. But Miss Schwarz asks some great questions about the meaning behind the objects--and not in some artistic, coldly aesthetic mode, but in very warm, human terms. (I also liked the hats made by Barensfeld and Howell's company, Lynn & Lawrence.)

Ironically, one of the "Journals" I've been reading lately, Free/Man just posted an small article about Brian Ferry (http://www.freemanbrand.com/journal/saturday-inspiration-brian-w-ferry.html)
