For my final project, I have created a tableau of objects, based on
a study of the phenomenon “mantelpiece”. It has been my intention to
come up with a new, humouristic and poetic take on some of the
classic items you find on the mantelpiece such as the photo,
porcelain ornament, plant, etc. With this aim in mind, I have drawn
on my own cultural experiences and images combined with a strong
need to focus attention on the age in which I live and some of the
many thought-provoking issues in life today.
I have worked with other materials as a supplement to ceramic, the
distinctive material that it is, used in this object category.
