Each piece, on the surface, and inanimate object, has been given layers of emotion and embedded with stories, which are open for interpretation. The works i create are pieces of narrative in my progressing story, one piece leads to the next and i work very instinctually. My work represents my inner searching, shown outwardly in domestic and uncanny scenes. I have to trust and believe that i can communicate through this medium. The works that i make are pieces of narrative which are a progressing story leading on from my last works, the journey continues. My work is the physical manifestation of my inner searching shown outwardly in domestic and uncanny scenes." this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
