Do you see art in everyday objects?
.
Oh, I could do a whole essay on this. Most of what we interact with every day is art. Your USB stick has a distinct and deliberate aesthetic. Your spoon has a distinct purpose it must fulfil, but the shape and curve, the rhythm of the proportions is deliberate art. So when I encountered a long-handled Korean spoon I had to adjust. I did that by looking for the art, the aesthetic. Once I understood that, the functionality followed.
