Made in 2008 this vase is the second in a series of Dyson pots which I started in 2006.
My obsession with drawing the Dyson Vacuum cleaner began when I first had a Dyson in 2000.I had existed for years with a 1970’s Ewbank carpet sweeper so when the Dyson arrived it was like a glamorous monster come to revolutionise dust in a truly miraculous way in my home. It became a person in its own right in the house, being too big to fit in an under-stairs cupboard it lived in full view in the dining room, like my very own synthetic human.
