Flowers in Repose

TOTO SHOWROOM / RRND, CHICAGO IL 2022

“coils of flower stems are flared out into poppy petals by hand.

The bouquets rest in thrown celadon pots with cracked rims and filled with ‘soil’ made from throwing trimmings. The dense, drooping, flowers lay in failing containers. The arrangements become avatars for the artist’s (and by extension, ceramics’) ability to contain sincerity and to evoke pathos.”
