Lighting the Way:
Q+A with Robert Sonneman
“I have always been captured by the notion that there is an inherent beauty in achieving a functional purpose from superbly executed, minimal structural forms. There is an attraction to the compelling logic of a structure of clarity and simplicity. More than an activity or aesthetic, the ideals of modernism define a direct way of thinking about and approaching life. To achieve recognition within the community of modern art, architecture and design represents an acceptance that validates my work in the context of the modern movement.”
