Links to My Past

Everything in this piece is a link to the happiest parts of my early life.
The piece of wood that forms the background of the sculpture is a link to my grandfathers and great grandfathers lives on the land, in their workshops and as builders; the old recipes and handwriting on the figure keep me connected to the women and their love of words; the land and hydrangea evoke stories of the past; and the teapot was, and still is, an integral part of a life shared with family.
