Monday was the 114th anniversary of John Ruskin's death (20th January). You would remember him as the leading English art critic of the Victorian era who famously said, "Our duty is to preserve what the past has had to say for itself, and to say for ourselves what shall be true for the future". On his wedding night, legend has it, the critic fainted on finding that- unlike the Elysian statues of his fantasies- women had body hair. Its time to change rotten ideas for innovation starts with a natural distrust of the status quo. When you’re prepared to start asking simple questions of everyday things- the world is suddenly full of possibilities.
