I can't help but believe if you made me something you must love me. You took your time, your energy, and your talents to CREATE something.
My friend Andrea Smith made these wonderful bowls for Dave and I. And this is what I love: Dave and Andrea, sitting in the backyard discussing the shape and size of these bowls and how the foot would be turned. When we unwrapped them I knew immediately that the texture on the outside was designed especially for me---the person most compelled to touch. Perfectly custom made. And perfect.
Andrea also designed these mugs for us. The texture on the bottom intended to mimic the underside of a mushroom and the size and shape to accommodate our morning lattes. Every time I pick them up it's like a little hug from Andr.
Andrea has a show opening this Friday night at The Logan Arthouse & Cinema; the show's name is "Entwined" and her work is of vessels bound together-echoing what binds us together as humans, all those intricate relationships that become difficult to articulate.
I'm too many miles away to make it to the opening, but on Friday morning I'll pour my cereal and coffee and enjoy those beautiful little pieces of art that I get to use everyday.
