Cushion, fabric, hand stitching, and Upholstery play an important role in each piece. The “padding” exists to safeguard the communication device and to encourage human use by offering a seductively tactile surface, bringing the viewer close to the ceramic object by way of tangible gratification. The upholstery, or “puckering” of the fabric over cushion creates the essence of Victorian-era furniture and elaborate domestic setting. I use the furniture as the home for the ceramic communication instruments and feel these devices should be held in high regard.
