In Vernasque, France, summer of 2000, I worked with a group of artists doing my clay sculpture in a villa couryard. The time was extra special because my newly adopted daughter, Helena, came along, after only two months of being in the US. She was 10 months old and was my greatest inspiration.

These wall mounted pieces celebrate the gathering of people -- family, friends, new aquantainces. Each vessel has people holding vessels with food and drink to share.
