Getty Museum, LA

I was in LA over the weekend for the Craft in America opening. I was able to go to the Getty museum where I found amazing architecture, tranquilizing landscape, some old Sevres Pots, and some Chinese pots which had been acquired by the French and guilt with gold handles.

new work

I am currently exploring the decorative potential of forms using a 19th century English tea set design which I call "delicate". The prototypes were carved from plaster and moulds were made by hand allowing me to have access to these forms in a workable state. This means that I have the ability to assemble them in various ways using the separate components or combining them into one piece.
I have also created "Slant Cups" which are a sculptural yet functional cup set. Slant Cups add a sense of sculpture to the functional set, leaving the owner with the final say in the arrangement.
