Dan Morrison works at the intersection of art, industrial and mechanical engineering.
"In my 20s, I spent hours in bands, and theatre, performing and composing. It was different from what I do now, but there has always been a combination of technology, art, design, and music. After that, I did a Masters' in Computer Science in London, spent some 10 to 15 years as a programmer in the early days of the internet," he says.
The maker, who has been taking engines apart ever since he was a teen, stayed true to his vision. "I'd always think that it would be nice to end up in a workshop of my own. Right now, mine is in a cellar downstairs," he says."The workshop is a tiny one, with some very simple tools and a lathe. This is where I spend all my time. I do go out sometimes, but I'm very happy down here," he tells us.The following conversation has been lightly edited for clarity and flow.
There's something very lovely about simple engineering for me. People are making beautiful things, but they tend to make them much more complicated. Most of my time is spent simplifying design.It's fundamental to me. Instead of working, you could be playing with this lamp on your desk - you have this lovely thing that is not only beautiful and functional, but also interactive - and it puts a smile on your face.
