Memento Mori
Cups from my interactive sculpture, Limited Capacity from the Berea Student Craft Staff show at the Parachute Factory in Lexington, KY.
Each cup was made, carved with clouds, fired, broken, and glued back together by myself. During the show these cups were filled with organic materials that stain and viewers/participants were asked to fill a cup of their choice with boiling water. For more information on the show and my pieces in it, go to the “my work” page. The stain material highlights the cracks in each cup. Excess and loose staining materials have been gently cleaned out of the cups except any that would not easily be washed off and adds to the beauty of the cup.
These cups are beautiful objects and Memento Mori. These teacups do not hold liquid and are not suitable for food use. At the bottom of each cup is an expiration date calculating roughly how long it will take for this ceramic item to decompose completely.
