So, what do I think my work is about? What have I been told it is about? What have people seen or felt in it? Come to think of it, what do YOU see in it? I'm focusing on my teacups for the moment so let take one of those babies for a spin and see what we wind up with.

If you'd like me to explain any of these ideas further, don't be afraid to ask. I need to practice talking about my art if I want to be rich and famous and interviewed on the TV about it!
