Inspirational Objects a visual dictionary of simple, elegant forms
published in 2005 by A & C Black
240 Objects – ranging from manufactured or handmade to natural items – have been beautifully photographed and cleverly arranged to provoke the viewer into a host of different questions: Why do I like it? Where does it come from? What is it for? What is it made from?
The accompanying text explains the author's own reactions to and interpretations of each object in terms of function, evolution and representation, context and symbolism.
