Out of the blue series

Unexpected pieces we discard and rejected by the sea to tell us off.

"The porcelain shards I find are mostly blue and white from English tea set; I am interested in what they represent socially and culturally. They interact and talk about quality of craftsmanship VS mass production, repurposing VS impulsive consumption and acknowledge the past to create a better present/future."

Porcelain shards, tins, beer cans, and also, raw Lapis Lazuli hand cut/polished, wrinkled Freshwater Pears, raw Sapphires, recycled Sterling Silver, waxed cord.

All beautifully imperfect.Wabi Sabi
