Description

Who doesn’t know them: towers of washing up. Unfinished household chores, old dishes, pots and cutlery piled up in the sink and often next to it. There is never enough room for them. This everyday observation is the starting point for the small series of dishes with pots and cutlery, struggling for balance and at the same time urging to get things done. Colourful, ironic and in the manner of old paintings, these tools and mounds of daily eating culture are staged against a dark background and with sparse light. Detached from the context of daily annoyance, the porcelain presents itself in daring stacks and disconcerting towers, which one can hardly believe the balance of and expects everything to topple over in the next moment. A typifying production in the face of the sophistication of banal risks that we ourselves create day after day. (limited edition).
