My first thrift store rescue and porcelan doll custom. Still proud of how they came out.
Porcelain, thread, woven wheel stitch. The green wheel is so much better than the other two. Guess it took me three attempts to get the tension right for sewing on porcelain. This mask actually broke when I was sewing, and I glued it back together. It's a clean break/join but still visible and I'm starting to think I should have just left it broken.
This is the beginning of an art project called 'Mycenae'. At the end of the Mycenaean era, when the palaces burned to the ground, the permanent records of the people - written in leather - were burned along with everything else. But their temporary records, written in recyclable clay, we're fired in the heat and thus preserved by the same act that destroyed everything else. Life loves irony.
The project here is to take temporary communications (or things we perceive as temporary) - email exchanges, instant message conversations, text exchanges, even snail spam mail - things we don't mean to preserve, and imprint them on porcelain tablets, firing and preserving them.
I'll admit one tablet by itself really doesn't look all that impressive. This is a project which - if it works at all - will work because of the scale. Imagine hundreds of those tablets covering a whole wall, each one containing incidentally preserved fragments of peoples' lives.
This is my "Things Could Be Worse"-mug.
Is it not marvelous?
In all it's porcelain-y glory.
And cheeky, mildly fatalistic hilarity.
Oh Don Moyer, you ol' so and so. You've got that rad moxy. That delightful insight that knew somewhere down the line we'd all need a tangible reminder that Now is not all there is.
I tip my librarian-esque glasses to you, sir, and will drink many a caffeinated beverage from this fine piece of comedic gold.
