This is a story about dreaming of the future. I imagined where I wanted to be and made this piece in 2009. In 2010 we found our Vermont home. It very closely resembles where I now live.
The border was inspired by the decorative style of William Morris, a designer during the Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th century. It is painted and fired.
