"A shadow of your former self" - from the ongoing series, The Yellow Jug and other stories
 
The yellow jug, a vintage kookaburra kettle once used to boil water for tea, is now an excellent vase. Imbued with the lives of the people who have held it before me and the very different world it was created in, the jug takes on a persona, perhaps theirs, possibly mine, or maybe, yours. It has its own, intimate relationship with the flowers that it holds and in turn, with the landscape that holds it. The images are allegories of love, lust and loss.
These stories belong to us all.
