Do you have any functional art?

During a recent tour my studio was full of people. 
I was excited to see everyone who came.

One new visitor said,
"I love everything you make. Do you have any functional art?
I only buy functional art."

At first I didn't know what to say.
I looked around my studio at the shelves filled with sculptures. 
All of the faces looking back at me.
All those eyes filled with expressions.
The curious features and crooked smiles.

I hesitated, but just for a moment and then said:
All of my art is functional.
Their function is to make you smile
or to spark a memory
They remind you to have fun and
to give yourself permission to explore new things
To catch you at a moment in your day and make you dream about the life you want to live.
