I had lunch (much, much more on that later) with my friend Edith today, and caught her in the middle of some serious multiple making for her upcoming solo show at El Camino College, Salty: Three Tales of Sorrow. Edith has been renting time in the Angels Gate Ceramic Studio to mass produce components of the exhibition’s various installations. Without getting too far into the details of the show (more on that later, too), there’s a boatload of ceramic components to be made. Edith has been making boxes full of plates and spoons for months, and today I caught her making a pile of sumo-themed mugs like the one up top.
Above – Spoons and plates in production. Closeup of the glazed spoons here. I don’t know how many of these Edith has made so far, but it’s a ton. I’ve got a flame shaped bowl (courtesy of ex-AGCC Studio Artist Liz Blum) just about overflowing with broken spoons that I’ve been collecting. Has someone put a name to the law that any object, no matter how mundane, in multiple, eventually becomes art in significant quantity?
