In this most recent body of work I am making useful pottery decorated with drawings from my daily life in my home: kitchen, living room, and bedroom. With some of these drawings of locations or objects there is a rather abstract representational decoration of the synapses of your brain neurons triggered by dreaming or memory. I am interested in how using this pottery adds to your memory of place and experience and how that is represented on the surface of these pots.
