the last piece for my exhibition

this is what i have done so far on the last piece for my exhibition.



it is called "food for thought" and it consists of 5 cane bowls, and 14 single cane cups.



i wanted this piece to make you think about what you are eating and what goes into your food without making it preachy, or negative or so direct.



then the idea of setting the cups and bowls up referencing a table setting and replacing cutlery with garden tools came along. i think it suggests the ideas well, and is interesting to look at.



i still need to etch some imagery onto the cups and the bottoms of the bowls, to link it with the rest of the work in the show. that will happen later this week.



in the exhibition this work will be displayed against a dark background, making the cane and the images really stand out.

i can't wait to see it all finished and installed.

hey cholewa
i like these! how will they be displayed in the gallery? im not sure they need imagery? i feel like they link in well especially with the handtools and the images of handtools in that other piece

I love the contrast between the delicate glass and the garden tools. I think your message is very clear! Very creative!
