He explains of the title, “Early in my life I learned to appreciate the beauty in things as they grew older. Houses, furniture, churches, whatever. I think it started after my dad was killed: I lived with my grandfather on his farm, this 19th century mansion. Everything in it was constantly broken, but there was such a beauty to it as well.”
