The House
Not necessarily rare things or valuable things, just ordinary objects that carry a little evidence of the people who used them. Books with worn spines. Photographs tucked into boxes. A favorite mug. A quilt passed from one generation to the next.
Over time, I realized that fascination wasn’t limited to the things I collected. It was showing up everywhere in my work—in the way I designed, the objects I was drawn to, and eventually, the way I approached pottery.
I kept coming back to things that were useful, familiar, and made to live with. Things that became more interesting because someone had chosen them, used them, and kept them.
House Over Yonder grew from that idea.
It’s a place to think about the things we make, the things we keep, and the stories that gather around them.
A place for old stories and new ones.
I’ve always been drawn to old things.
The work takes different forms. Often, it looks like a brand identity. Sometimes it looks like a handmade mug. Sometimes it is a photograph, a found object, or a reflection on an ordinary moment.
It took me a long time to realize that the thread is the same:
What makes something worth keeping?
