My Great Great Grandmother Kjersti had the foresight to donate her Spinning wheel in 1929 to the Otago Pioneer Museum, she had brought it with her in 1872 from Norway. It proved to be the link to discovering her family, farm and my cousins in Amotsdal, Norway. The house where she was born is now preserved as a museum, dates from around 1800 and like my Great Grandmother Hannah`s teapot it is starting to inspire another piece of sculpture. Its one of several objects from the past that seems to reach out and tap me on the shoulder in recent years and opens doors to what I am looking for. At times it seems more than just a coincidence.
