NARRATOR:
Hello, you’ve reached the Seattle Art Museum. To hear from artist Patti Warashina, stay on the line.

PATTI WARASHINA (ARTIST):
Airstream Turkey came about because first of all that was a period of time when I was working on these particular shapes learning how to build with slab clay and I worked on a series and it was, I call, a bread loaf form. It looks like a loaf of bread.

That bread loaf form also looks like a Airstream trailer. Down for my house there's a place where I lived where the Airstream trailer sat outside these people's houses for several years. And I’d pass it every day, you know, day in, day out, so I think that that image kind of caught when I was working on that bread loaf form it … it just kinda came to my mind, you know? I like things that are not quite right, they're kind of loony. I guess I see the world that way, you know? We live in a crazy world and it's not always beautiful. And I like things to look, you know, very inviting, but usually I like things that there's things that are wrong with it, too.

The parts and pieces kind of fit together and if they kind of go against each other that's even better. You know, I kind of don't like things to be too logical. I like things that are kind of disturbed. (Laughs)
