DC Graffiti Mug
DC Graffiti Mug
Approximately 3.5" x 3.5"
This work is really conceptual for me. I’m not just taking art I like and slapping on my pot and selling it. I’m capturing something fleeting and preserving it on a material that is permanent. Could graffiti and ceramics be more different? Not really, and how interesting is that?! Could I do this in collaboration with writers and legal walls? I guess, but I don’t really want to - not for these at least. I’m attracted to the layers and the decay and the story this tells, the unique curation that occurs with graffiti. Can I ask permission from the artists I’m putting on my pots? No - there’s a lot on each piece, they’re anonymous by choice, and writing on property that isn’t theirs. It’s anarchy! And it’s a mug. There’s definitely a little humor here, but there’s also content about gentrification - with full acknowledgement of my part in this - see title below. I took these pictures in the alley over by Union Market Washington DC. If you’re local you know the one.
