Bacchanalia (Table Manners)

Ceramics, 2021

This plate series represents the contradictory pull between traditional etiquette manners and the desire to revel in lust and madness.

Inspired by ancient rituals of Bacchanalia, the Greek and Roman celebration of Bacchus God of wine and ecstasy , these playful and sensual plates represent the colliding forces existing within all of us: civilized and wild.

An interplay between the rules of propriety and good behaviour taught to us since early childhood and our adulthood need to disrupt and disobey those imposed social standards, to indulge in our desires and fantasies.

The collection "Porn Plates" was created appropriating images of women from pornographic magazines and using them to decorate the surface of dinner plates. It was a way of reclaiming images that are intended to be seen by males only, in a private setting, and exposing them on the surface of a domestic object, making them accessible to everyone. These plates are a reflection on the consumption and exploitation of female bodies for male gratification.

This work speaks about the fragility, resilience and strength of our female bodies. It was originally made as a compassionate response to the pain of a loved one who was unable to conceive children. But as the piece took form it became evident other that women saw their own frustrations, suffering and strengths reflected in it as well. This work brought on many conversations with other women, and it was a privilege to hear their stories of pain and endurance.
