Storyful Things Gallery
Our personal connection with things sometimes comes from the memories they stir inside us. Sometimes we love them for their gorgeous craftsmanship or how they symbolise the way we used to live everyday - an attachment we have with our past and identity.
Chopper for instance, is inspired by a memory from my childhood in the 1970s - by a boy called Darren, who used to wheelie around our streets on his chopper bike trying to convert us all to Chelsea fans, like him.
With Typewriter, the appeal is its charm and its history - strike a key and its springs, levers and arms connect beautifully to stamp ink into the fibres of the paper…then its carriage moves across and its bell pings!

''This avocado green trimphone brings back strong memories of my teenage sister in the late 1970s - with Farah Fawcett hair flicks, sprawled across our swirly patterned brown stairs chatting to her friends for a LONG time - and mum going crazy because of the spiral cable across the hall...
and the telephone bill.''

Bookshelves are filled with all sorts of paraphernalia from our lives, including books of course! Have you grown to accept the steady migration of bits and pieces that come to populate the shelves? - memories from your travels, keepsakes found in the garden by your child, nestled between a couple of 'volumes' and books half read then put down open for easy access later on.
Bookshelves grow to reflect our lives.
