I live with only things I love, and these objects, many collected from my travels, all have stories attached to them. I've had this table for more than 30 years and many significant things have happened around it. Most important to me is feeding and nurturing my family and friends. I cook from the heart. Drinking tea is a ritual that happens around this table. Books are read, presents get wrapped, things are made or painted. My last two books, One and Colour have been conceptualised and developed around it, and it changes colour and mood with a cloth or two thrown over it.
