Collecting: Texture

         I collect lots of things- some of these things are pretty intangible- sounds, textures, colours- ephemeral snippets of life that I don't want to forget. These collections are where I draw my inspiration from for paintings and now my ceramics- so many good combinations to reflect on. Often times we think of collections as something that we need to physically obtain- by collecting things that I can't bring with me it becomes more of a study in restraint. A well curated collection of things left behind!
