| ''I was very drawn
to everything, but I very much liked the creamware...and I looked at a small
little jelly mould, which had a lobster in the bottom. It reminded me of
when I came to England....sound like a bit of an old bugger!....we came
on a Dutch ocean liner called the Wilhelm Reiss. My parents nicked an ashtray
of a similar shape..it reminded me of that. Later, when I was doing some
drawing and I looked up, and I've got this box with a Morris dancer on the
side...one morris dancer. And I thought that looks very much like the lobster
in the bottom of the dish that I was drawing. So I've jumped from lobsters
to morris dancers.' |
