Neri Oxman

I am inspired by alchemy and all things continuous, uninterrupted, and effortlessly fused into wholes.

I approach the world as a whole by taking an integrative approach, not a world of parts, and I like to bring different fields and disciplines together. The same is true with my preoccupation with cultural expression.

For the same reason we have the Brad Pitts and the George Clooneys, it's just part of human nature to idolize stereotypes.

Gender is more of a continuum than we are willing to admit when we hit the restroom.

Although I often find that the feminist rhetoric - not feminism - can come across as simple-minded, self-regarding, nuance-averse and reductive - biology to physiology, history to psychology, procreation to gynecology, and so on - I have come to realize that we should all be feminists.

I often ask myself, 'What would design be like if objects were made of a single part? Would we return to a better state of creation?'
