Livingware
2001 vitreous china
For Livingware, I appropriated a pattern found on Corelleware dishes. Small, avocado-colored daisies, pansies, and ferns decorate the borders of an otherwise mundane, but extremely durable dish – a dish and design intended to add like to nourishing, if unimaginative meals. Working as an artist-in-residence in the Kohler Arts/Industry factory (world-renowned toilet, tub, and sink manufacturer) I cast, glazed, and fired over 150 of the Corelleware flowers in vitreous china.
