Collection concept:

We Are Such Stuff As Dreams Are Made On

Dreams, sensations, memories, aches, joys, vibes. Sometimes words are not enough to describe an emotion. John Koenig wrote a compendium of new words for emotions. Its mission is to shine a light on the fundamental strangeness of being a human being and ask what if there were a word for every emotion in the world.  I wondered what if there were an image for every emotion one ever had. Images for all the emotions out there, the obvious ones, but mostly for those emotions no one knows one ever had. Those moments that are too small to become a story, but too meaningful to be forgotten. We don't think about these things as life happens, but they are there and they too make us who we are. Such stuff as dreams are made on, as Prospero said.  The collection is a series of pieces made of porcelain, fused glass and silver.
