a range of vessels and brooms that speak of beauty in the everyday objects. The vessels are made of flour, agricultural waste, lime and vegetable dies and baked and sealed for use. The objects speak of a method that is unconventional, uses materials we have and produce objects that we are familiar with but shedding a new light on them. The vessels have imperfections from the various stages and would offer a warmth to touch that ceramics lack creating an intimate relationship with the object.
Roland Tiangco - poster
to me this poster offers a very intimate experience with user involving them and forcing them to become one of the "few willing to get our hands dirty". While it is essentially a poster than could be thrown out with the recycling (I hope!) I believe the act of participation and memory would make the user want to hold onto the item for as long as possible. This is a beautiful example of thought provocation by an object as it latches onto our emotions - guilt if you're not doing anything to help sustain the future - pride if you feel you are actively making a difference, emotions only you know the answer to as if you and the object are having a private conversation.
