My things are a mixture of old and new, antique and modern, expensive and worth hardly anything (more of that), sophisticated and kitshy - I like beautiful things, interesting things and funny things. Maybe that's why I also like to change my style of painting every so often.

Why "repairs"? Well, this is an old teapot I have, which, in spite of it's missing lid, I love - not only for it's elegant shape but mainly for the little metallic spout it has. Somebody, a long time ago, went to the trouble of repairing this broken spout by attaching a new metal replacement. It looks odd, but it tells a story of caring, of valueing and of making an effort - instead of wasting, throwing out and consumimg. I really like that.
