Playing with earth-like graphic lines. In my work, I create perspective, and then, I intentionally destroy it, over and over again. I enjoy this process. While working with coffee cups, I have happened upon a new distortion to manipulate. Unlike 2D line art, this surface curves. By using the dimensional form (cup) and it’s natural curve as an element, the 2D line art suddenly has more validity to the human mind. How do I know? Well, I don’t. I experienced it. Just as I do when I warp geometric forms on paper.
Even more fun is the artistic standard this cup threatens. Graphic line executed on a curve suddenly becomes sculpture. It’s a fascinating definition to twist, blend, pry open and see what other boundaries cajoled can be defied. I’m already stretching the idea of sculpture by declaring that any prolonged project—this one being 365 days—and that the end product is affixed to a form, is not journaling, blogging, literature, but is in fact sculpture. In other words, as this project unfolds, I’m realizing that, yes, there is so much opportunity that I’ve not begun to explore. That I had not originally expected. It’s cool.
Depending on the direction and leading between my graphic lines, the concept of reality can be challenged for tiny bits of time how a line drawing of a square might. you're drinking your morning coffee, evening tea, or something in between – this mug's for you! It's sturdy and glossy with a vivid print that'll withstand the microwave and dishwasher.
