All support bowls from the loneliness collection are created to give a sence of care when you need it. As I was working on this series I expressed my memories and thoughts in small poems, which I include with each teabowl.

…

Sometimes when I am lonely

I like to think of all the things I am made of,

All the molecules in my body which used to be:

Star dust, pollen, dynosaur scales, the water of Roman baths;

Also, all the people who came before me -

Now earth and clay,

Becoming plants and animals,

flowing into rivers and oceans,

and schools of silver mackerel.

…

This is an interesting one. It was made when my friend and I were discussing how smile affects people and I like to imagine that this conversations, this samiling narrative is infused into the clay of the bowl.
