That's the kind of modernism I find uninteresting, white or empty space, and those spartan, clean, straight lines. It all had its value when it was new and rose up against extraneous ornamental kitsch, but nowadays this concept of "modern" has been abused too much, to save money and build cheap and boring boxes. That's where primitivism comes in, to break up that stiff monotony. I am looking forward to do "The Look of Tiki" with Martin McIntosh next, where I will be able to go all out with textures and patterns and colors, it will be a clutter fest!
