Swarm. 2015.Slip-cast porcelain.
Tableware has the potential to influence actions, rituals and food. Swarm was a musing on how I think Americans generally eat shared meals, with larger portions of food that get passed around with some small complementary sauces, relating to different sized buckets and relating more to containers than dishes. The surface pattern reflects their envisioned movement, the decoration referencing leaves or wings.
