'I am a hard-edged minimalist: I love clean lines and simple articulations. But I also enjoy what Robert Herrick, in his poem Delight in Disorder, called 'wild civility', the tension between an ordering and a falling away from order. Here is an untidy stack of dishes, teetering on the edge of a fall: a moment of wildness in a room of utter poise.' - Edmund de Waal at Waddesdon, Waddesdon Manor, 2012
